| transgender and moving to Geneva--what can I expect?
Hi all,
I've been lurking here for quite some time but finally registered to post.
I'm a 28-year old American woman, transgender, with a tentative job offer for a P3 position at a UN agency in Geneva. I’m generally well-accepted as a woman here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm wondering:
· How comfortable/knowledgeable are the Swiss with transgender people? Am I likely to integrate well (or as well as an American woman typically might)?
· My partner is finishing her degree but would want to join me in May next year. We've lived together for 2 1/2 years. What's the likelihood of being able to sponsor a non-working residence permit for her? (We are unable to marry in California due to the same sex marriage ban.)
Thanks for your help! I greatly appreciate it!
