Transprogrammer

I'm NB but I've been on hormones for almost 2 years and have definitely changed a lot while working for my current company. I've been with the company from when it was a 15 person startup to being a 200 person entrenched behemoth, and it's pretty much been a great experience all the way. Granted, almost no-one uses my pronouns(Maybe 2 or 3 people in the company), however they are listed in my Slack profile, I have only ever verbally told my team them a single time, and I haven't pushed since then. The more important thing to me is that I'm seen as a human being, which I feel like I am. My co-workers for sure think I'm weird(for many reasons), but they also accept me and appreciate my weirdness, even celebrating it in some cases.

I think it's as good as can be expected. Just the fact that the company loosely encourages employees to list pronouns in their Slack profile is a big win for me.

Was at a multi-tenant private cloud company. Networking, building servers, terraform, in house tooling pipelines, reverse engineering applications for performance profiling, sql profiling, security.. I had enough death threats from those who might just get away with it - I left.. Now well not much, few things here and there. Looking for work. I sell random things

this place has a backwards IT and coding policy where everything's proprietary and we're not allowed to use any programs from the internet.

I tried a startup, a small legacy software comp like yours, a 5000+ people corporation, and a shitty dev shop and an international regulatory body

• Startup is hit or miss
• 5000+ corp has diversity policies that protect you but outside of those they won't care
• Shitty dev shop will be full of transphobes but they'll never show it to your face
• Smol old software company will do everything to preserve the good vibes of the office, if they hire you it should go smoothly
• Big international gov has eastern european/greek/balkans/portuguese devs and they come with their religious beliefs and not super cutting edge beliefs about gender. They'll have diversity policies but way less progressive than a private company - the bare uncriticizeable minimum, to cause the least amount of waves. Safe, no risk, and safe again.
