That makes sense Sue.

For my own plan, it looks like I'm going to be out at my company sometime in the next 2-4 weeks (shooting for the week of June 6th). At that time I will inform the owner, and then send all of my employees a note explaining that I am trans (or seeing if the HR person or the owner want to send the note). At this point everyone will know that I'm pursuing transition, and that I will give everyone a heads-up prior to making the actual switch (which I expect to be in late 2016). Once I set that full-time date, I am going to start working on documentation. When the date arrives I will ask everyone to stop using my current name and start using my new name and pronouns going forward.
