So I came out at work. Actually only to my manager and assistant manager. They handled it alot better than I hoped! My manager is female. She came to me the next day and said, " I just have one thing to say, there is only one b*tch here, and thats me!" My assistant manager said that if anybody had a problem with it, they were gone. This is funny in a way. I work for dominos pizza. For those of you who dont know, the founder of dominos wants to start a "christian" (I use the term loosely here) town in Florida. He is very right wing. Anyway, thought that was some good news. ;D

we all have to start somewhere, as a matter of fact I took a step forward today myself. =)
Do tell, I want to here the story!

I just posted it in another thread, I didn't want to hijack your thread that seems full of good news! :)
I'm so happy for you! that's great news, those goths are so apethetic that they don't care one way or the other, LOL. I say this as a former goth of course, hehe.
I dont mind if you "hijack" this. Im here to share and learn from my fellow sisters! Btw, is that you in your avatar?

Wow, I love your story. I almost came out to the family today, but were having a rough christmas, I didnt want to make it worse. Ill do it next year on my bday. Thats Jan. 13. About your picture, I think youre absolutely beautiful. I only hope I look half that good! Ive been on hrt for about three weeks now. I see development already. But I think thats mainly because I was on hrt a little over a year ago for about 6 months, than stopped. Stupid, but it helped my resolve this time. Im sure you can understand!

Ladies you are both incerdible
I've come out at home but ot at work - except for one person.
I have students to teach PhD and Hons.
Three cis female were in the lab discussing a TG who had been at a pub they go to. "would you stay or go to a differnt city or country if you were a MtF ?" This is a editors edition of the conversation. I just said to her later " I came to Australia fro the UK" I think she is still thinking about it
LoL
