Recently at work there is this person that is in his late 50's and he has just been starting to take hormone pills, brazillian waxes and he soon to be getting his penis chopped. At the moment he must come to work as a man until he gets his clearance to come in as a women. I feel violated being around him and unfortuantly i have to be nice to him or i will get fired. What are you views and opinions about transgender people in your work environment? I am afraid i will be sharing the toilet with him.

okay so you feel violated because someone ELSE decides to change their lives, not effecting yours at all? but yet you feel violated??? deal with it stop and stop being a baby.
You feel violated? How is she hurting you? I'm transgender myself and it appears you don't even know what it feels like to wake up everyday, look in a mirror and hate yourself constantly.
You feel violated being around someone who has finally decided to do something about being transgendered? You'll have to explain this one. It's a shame he just started to come out now, in his 50's, but I wish the best of luck to him. As far as I know, there aren't any other transgendered people where I work. But I'm totally ok with all that sort of stuff. I could really care less which way you swing or what gender you associate with. (I may call you sir one day or madame the next, I like to change it up some).

I, uh, am sorry that you feel violated. Transgendered people are just people whose minds and personalities do not match their sex. There's nothing wrong with that. That anyone should feel "violated" or uncomfortable around someone like that, then it's a sure sign that their either ignorant or bigoted. The transgendered community should be as welcomed into society as the rest of us.
Why exactly are you afraid of sharing a toilet with her and why exactly do you feel violated?
Why do you feel violated by her presence, in spite of the fact that she more probably than not minds her own business and does absolutely nothing to anger and aggravate you? Why is the fact that you have to treat someone with respect and decency unfortunate? What, do you want to berate and harass her or something? And why are you afraid of sharing the toilet with her? Looks to me like you made this thread in hopes of someone reaffirming your bigoted and intolerant views and not for the sake of actual debate. And transgendered people are a-okay with me.

Well, if he chose to do that with his body, then its his choice. No reason you or anyone else should judge him for anything. Oh and "scared to use the same toilet"? Believe it or not, you don't become transgendered by sharing toilets by someone who is, if that's what's scaring you off.
