I came out to my co-worker yesterday. I work in the library at my University. It was just me and her working in the evening for a few hours prior to closing. We have a fairly large LGBT community here, so I shouldn't have any problems. I'm not sure whether any of my other co-workers suspect or not. I think a couple of them started to suspect recently or may have connected the dots and figured out that I'm a transwoman. I'm still largely, mistakenly gendered male, but that does seem to be slowly changing. I think a few of them think I'm a gay man because I've mentioned that I date men and am, of course, more feminine in my gender expression. Another co-worker recently started avoiding pronoun usage altogether with me, which suggests that she knows but isn't sure what pronouns I prefer. She hasn't asked, though. The coworker I came out to is really nice and she seemed like she would definitely be supportive and not have a problem with it. I don't think any of my co-workers will really have a problem, at least not to my face. She asked a lot of questions, which I have no problem answering as long as people ask them in a respectful manner, which she did. I would rather have people ask questions and learn and understand than to remain ignorant out of fear of offending me.
