I did this. Only three people at work know I'm transgender, and none of them were the ones who got this email.
On a side note, I just did a survey at work since the installation I work at received a new CG. She's our first female CG who is also the 2nd African-American CG of our installation. The survey was labeled the command climate survey and it is supposedly anonymous. The survey was entirely about discrimination in the workplace. None of it had to do with discrimination against a persons LGBT status. It entirely focused on age, physical sex, and race with a little bit of social group discrimination thrown in. But there were a few text boxes to explain any discrimination one has experienced. I took the chance to write in that I've witnessed several coworkers make disparaging comments in regards to people who identify somewhere on the LGBT spectrum and it's made me adverse to coming out at work and transitioning. Maybe we'll have yet another mandatory training course dumped on us about discrimination against the LGBT community. Who knows.
