Coming out at work

What do y'all think about this coming out at work email? for reference I am in a purple bubble in a very blue state with a lot of state work protections. I am also an electrical engineer. Please let me know what y'all think. Obviously I plan to talk to HR first. And I plan on telling my dept in person. But I work a lot between depts so a company wide email is a good idea.

Dear Team,

After working here for the last 3.5 years I have grown very fond of working here. However, there’s something that I do need to tell y’all. I am trans and have been going by Jocelyn (She/Her) for the last 2 years, and I would appreciate if that was also the case here. I just also would like y’all to know that at the end of the day I am still the same person, with the same commitment to making sure we succeed as a team in the work we do here. The only difference is for the first time in my life, I have found joy, peace, and contentment in myself.

 I understand that this will be an adjustment for some of y’all, and I want to be clear I do not expect perfection; I just expect effort. I understand that we all come from different backgrounds and beliefs, but at the end of the day I hope we can achieve a sense of mutual respect in the workplace as we move forward. I am happy to answer any questions that are work appropriate and asked in good faith. Thanks again for being such a great team to work with and I look forward to continuing to work with all y’all.

Sincerely, Jocelyn
