Glad to hear it.  I am not sure my fire department will be so accepting.

An example to be followed in every work place!

My second Wal-Mart was much more accepting of me when I began my Transition, can't say the same for the first one! LOL It's more like courage and willingness to be the real you. If you do your job well and you connect well with your co-workers you'd be very surprised at how understanding everyone truly is.

That's great. I love strong women. I sometimes feel inadequate as a man even though people used to see me as a strong woman before I came out. When I see people like her I know I can continue to be strong too.

Stay strong + don't listen to the nay-sayers out there bruuuuuh!!! You know who you are don't ever let someone try to dissuade you from what you know about yourself. They haven't lived in your shoes so don't listen to them!
