That sounds wonderful Melissa.  Really the only thing your manager should be concerned about is your work.  After all, that is why your there isn't it?

I have noticed that most of the women working at the companies I do work for had very little to no problem with my transition.

Well, this afternoon I talked to the HR person again (coincidentally, her name is Susan).  We had a good hour long talk.  The executives are now aware and very supportive and we set a tentative date for me to tell people on July 14 and me to go fulltime on July 17.  The only reason it will change is if the execs foresee a major problem with that date.  But, that's only 3 weeks away!!!  We talked about a lot of personal things as well such as stuff going on in my life.  So I am pretty out in the open now about other things I've been dealing with.  She was very sympathetic.  Earlier she had asked my manager how he thought my work performance was and he said it was fine.  Well, I can definitely see myself improving in that area, so that's really good.

So far my experience has been that the women I've told have all been accepting. I kinda chalked it up to the idea that people can better understand others identifying with their same gender, but maybe there is more to it than that. :)

Wishing you smooth sailing Melissa! BTW, July 17th will be a big day for me too. :D

I can agree with your experience as I found much the same as far as attitudes between men and women go.  However, I wouldn't use the word accepting but rather understanding and supportive.  I believe that it takes men a little longer to get their heads around this.

Good.  Understanding and Supportive is much better than accepting to me.
