small update as its been about 3 weeks since i came out at work.
pretty much my entire shift is being supportive of it and ive recieved no negative comments from anyone. theres a few slipups with the names here and there but for the most part everyone is using appropriate name and pronouns now, and wow, it is amazing.
there is 1 person who i know is 100% opposed and talks badly about it but hes already gotten in trouble for it from management after another coworker reported him to every level of managemt in the store. and when he had to work with me a couple days ago was being polite about it at least. its good knowing that my entire management team unanimously supports my transition. now if only walmart had insurance that wasnt based in arkansas so i could get insurance to cover something but oh well. guess you cant have everything.
there are people that will stare, which is understandable given where i am at, even though this is california, i am in a fairly religious and conservative part in nor-cal, and for most of my coworkers, me and another employee are the only 2 transgender people that they have ever encountered before, and the 2 of us are way way different people about our approach to transitioning. so i try not to let it bother me.

Congratulations! I believe we can toss the word "liberating" around, yes?
absolutely, im able to be so much more relaxed now. and not having to worry about trying to hide things at work anymore, or having the fear of other people finding out. just being able to relax and do my job is awesome.
