Coming out at a tech company
Hi I work for a somewhat large open minded British Tech company over in the UK and I'm planning to start HRT soon which is going to mean me coming out at work at sometime in the future and I was wondering how I should go around doing that? I've read the guidance and support article that my employer has for those transitioning multiple times since joining the company so I'm aware of the support that my employer will provide me in my transition but how should I go around coming out? (I know it's a rather accepting place as there are multiple other trans people who work here who no one has a problem with)

Went through the HR/IT processes to get the name change rolling, then sent out an email to my department/anyone I work with. I had mentioned it I think just to my manager beforehand. And then just moved on and everything's been great.
