I came out as trans while at Goldman Sachs. Here are 5 things I learned that can help make workplaces more welcoming for transgender people.
I'm a frequent public speaker, and inevitably one of the questions I get asked is what can be done to make workplaces more welcoming for transgender people., I was wildly excited, but I was also petrified. I now know that my co-workers were fearful, too — fearful that they would say or do something that would offend me.
Many of us know our entire lives that we are in the wrong gender, but some of us live in self-hatred and are not exactly sure why. I didn't consciously know I was transgender until I was 57, but once I realized it, a life of detesting myself and the inability to look at myself in a mirror for four decades suddenly made total sense.partly involve altering one's outward appearance to look more masculine or feminine or a little of both, taking hormones, and surgically changing bodies.
This made sense for me because I had already been at the company for 15 years and knew many of my colleagues well, including all the senior executives. Goldman's HR team — known as Human Capital Management — partnered with me to help inform the people I worked with about what was happening.
