Messed up and accidentally shared my deadname at work
Feel like crawling out my skin so I just need somewhere to vent.
I'm a full grown business man, no one at my work knows my deadname, I'm the top of the chain so literally not even like an HR department, no one. I went to great length to protect this information. But they know I'm trans, nobody discusses it but everyone knows, I don't mind.
So I went to email one of my employees off my phone and didn't realise till a few emails into the chain that for some god damn mysterious reason my phone sent it from an OLD email from when I was a teenager. I didn't even know that address was on my phone and it definitley wasn't the one I was on when I clicked write email, shouldn't even have been an option as I don't even have my employees email on that account! Embarrassing as it is. But now I wanna crawl inside my skin cause the email is literally
fulldeadname@hotmail.com and a stupid picture of me as a teenage girl.
Mortified. Do I address it when I see them and ask them to pretend they didn't see it? Do I ignore it and pretend it never happened? Idk, but I hate this.
