Jennifer Fountain: What it is Like to Transition at Work


Listen Later

Making the decision to change or transition your biological sex and gender role is probably one of the biggest decisions you can make in life because gender and biological sex are such a huge part of individual identity. No two transitions are alike. The specific steps of transition and their timing can vary, and individuals have different preferences about how widely they want their transitions to be announced. However, there are actions every workplace can take to support employees through this process. So today, you will all be hearing from Jennifer Fountain who transitioned from male to female, while working at a different role and organization to her current position and employer. On this episode, Jennifer will share her experiences and advice on how we can support employees with transitioning at work.
