Protect Your Rep At Work

womanwork.jpg We know you’re a kind gal – and honest and hardworking to boot. But that’s not good enough. It’s your reputation that defines you. Here are some tips to keep your rep in check while you’re on the clock.

1. It’s OK to go out for happy hour. But keep it to a two-drink minimum. Touchy feely isn’t good for your reputation. Neither is drunk.

2. Show up on time. Five minutes late makes you look lazy.

3. Know your boundaries. If you know your boss is going to be looking over your shoulder, stay off personal email and profile pages on the web. And don’t shop online. It’s just not worth getting in trouble.

4. Dress appropriately. It’s different for every office. Creative and stylish may be perfect for some jobs, but a suit is better at others.

Coming Out as Transgender

Transgender people often feel as though they are trapped in the wrong body — they were born one sex but feel more like another. Dr. Marci Bowers offers this information for people who are transgender and their loved ones.

- Transgender is a biological phenomenon.

- People have turned to alcohol, suicide, religion, shock therapy to suppress those feelings, but the feelings don’t go away.

- Being transgender is different from being gay because one is the discussion of sexuality and the other is the discussion of gender. Sexuality is whom you’re attracted to, whereas gender is who you are internally – the concept of male or female.

For People Struggling With Their Gender:

- Go to support groups and find common ground where people share the same feelings. Then proceed to a therapist to get help in finding your true identity. But most importantly, be true to who you are as a person, no matter what others say.

For Family:

- Imagine yourself in his/her position.

- Get to know them and realize they are finding who they are and how to be more comfortable being a certain way, even if it is not a way you agree with.

- Learn and educate yourself and open your heart.

- Parents should be patient and nonjudgmental.

To find local support groups, visit www.transgender.org
