So ok, something potentially cool happened while I was at work earlier tonight and I just wanted to share it somewhere. I should preface with saying that I haven't come out at work yet.
I'm in management where I work and I was in the office getting things together for the start of my shift. Putting together work assignments, looking up scheduled tasks for my guys.... stuff like that... Then one of my guys walks into the office to ask me a question. I turn my chair around to face him, then I see him look at me and just stop mid sentence, dead in his tracks, and stare for what seems like forever. Then he got kind of red faced and started acting all aww shucks-ey and embarrassed like he's trying to figure out what to say. I asked him if he was ok and he just couldn't get anything out other than something about have I ever thought I saw something that wasn't what I thought and stuff like that and he's just like looking at me all weird and embarrassed.
Finally he regained his composure and we finished talking about what he came in to talk about and he left.
I don't know for sure and I might never but I'm totally chalking this up as almost ten months of HRT starting to pay off!
I can't say just how badly I wanted to say "No, you saw exactly what you thought you did."
Here's to hoping that, for that handful of seconds, I was seen as me.... The real me..... Finally.
