In Which I am Declared Normal

"Its a cold comfort to know that even though they can accept me as a human being, and a 'normal guy', they can't extend that to some poor MTF that they have also all met and gotten to know. Their pale excuses that 'he' was always 'weird' and 'creepy' and 'bizarre' sounded hollow to my ears.

I think that this person is brave. I checked their professional profile on LinkedIn, and there they are, with their male name, but their photo is of them in girl-mode. I was impressed. So impressed. But my colleagues didn't see the ballsy, gutsy bravery it takes to do such a thing, to out ones self in the professional arena, to risk their career, their marriage, their everything to be themselves."
