Well That Was a Turn of Events

General
Soo last long Journal I had told you all that I had put in my resignation at my job. Well I just put in a letter to rescind that.
Day after I put that in I got a call during my last hour of my shift*, my boss wanted me to stay due to him being late and needing to talk to me. He never comes in during my shift, in fact no manger comes in during my shift. My fear was he was going to come in pull we fire you now kinda nonsense or something. Well sitting down he wanted some clarification about my letter and the reason for it. When I wrote the letter I listed my reason for leaving was due to pilling problems. I wrote it this way to help facilitate a clean break, to not put down on paper something that could later be used against them. While I didn't explain this I told him of several of the reason and re-clarified that I was a transexual and not a crossdresser.** After this he told me how the company just overhauled their employee handbook and updated alot of their policies to meet the standards set by laws in the state and etc. He told me they currently have a labor law lawyer on staff for this. He told me if I wanted, he could talk to his boss and the lawyer about me transitioning on the job. I find out now, that when my boss asked about this a year prior he only asked in loose terms, not giving names or making the point about a current issue. WellI told him tell the boss and lets see what comes of it.
Next night I come into work and get a message asking me to come in during the day(yay no sleep!) to meet with him. Okay. I go 5 hours after my shift and talk with him and the assistant manager of the property. Just clarified what had all happened prior to this point. Than we talked a little bit about law and how currently there are 6 cases in the state in which a trans individual is going against a place they worked at. 3 of the cases looked to be highly favorable for the trans individuals. Afterwards he told me that they were going to have the new not yet released handbook apply to me as their lawyer suggested it would be for the best. Now the big stipulation is neither say its ok for me to transition on the job, but on the grounds that currently it is classified as a mental illness of sorts that their is tons of things in the handbook about discrimination against stuff like that. Regardless there is one rule I still have to adhere to and apparently they were a little hung up on. Id have to wear the uniform provided. I looked at them, almost daring someone to laugh. UNiforms at our place have been backordered for some time and they were being disconinueed. New ones have been up for discussion for quite some time. They asked when Id be ready to be full time. I said two months. Partly due to time I think it will take me to get my voice right. They are cool with it all now. They just asked me if I wanted to keep my resignation with all that being said or to rescind it.
Easy decision, Job security + alright pay + chance to transition at the workplace out of the way > unemployed looking for a job. SO YAY!
*I work 3rd shift, no supervisor just me. 11pm-7AM.
**I have no problem with those who crossdress but from an earlier conversation it was clear he thought I only wanted to dress as a women.
