Between reading the title and clicking down here, you probably figured out where this is headed. Yep. I'm transgender, a lady-boy, a chick with a dick, I've heard em all, go on and think what you can't say.
But my question is, I just hired on with Kroger, and the rules are still very much in the air about the TG bath room policies. It would normally not be a problem, but until my hormone replacement kicks in full throttle my beard growth is too dense for me to 100% hide this.....and I'm tired of hiding any way.
So: think I should just continue going to Kroger's lady's room? Thanks
So are you a guy who wears girl clothes or a girl who wished they had a dick and growing a beard? I'd recommend using whatever the DNA in your body indicates. If I see a man in the ladies room, I'm gonna bust someones ass.
To the best of my knowledge, Kroger has had a long standing pro-trans policy and even healthcareh modifications for many years. If you are in your transitional period living as the gender you I'dentify as you should use the corresponding facilities. If you are not yet in transition you may want to discuss your concerns with your in store HR manager. Bottom line is if you self identify as a particular gender you should feel comfortable using the appropriate facility. If you self identify as an Apache attack helicopter you should use the facility on top of the building. That is what the caged ladder on the back of the store is used for. The only difference is it has a lock on it. That is to keep the Firetrucks from using it. If anyone ever has an issue with your life choices they can go talk with the floor polisher machine located in utility.
last reply was doing so well before that "attack helicopter" joke, which ironically for using an aerial vehicle has been run into the ground (like it's mostly offensive at this point on the grounds of being utterly unfunny). And while the phrasing of the OP makes me think it's someone trying to be funny, I'll make a response assuming good faith
From what I have been able to find, company policy is at least somewhat accommodating to trans employees but documentation like a government ID with a changed gender marker (the requirements for getting this varying from state to state) may be required. Whether your local management is accommodating at all is another matter entirely, and if they're not then good freaking luck trying to fight that battle.
