Title: At work as Devlyn today...
Post by: Devlyn on July 27, 2015, 10:52:37 AM
...and it went over like a fart in church! I pushed my temper down and got to work and pointed out that I'm still able to do what I was doing last week. Got to keep smiling!

Hugs, Devlyn

I guess it depends on the church but, in my church of good friends, a fart, burp or sneeze is just natural effervescence.

And you dear Devlyn are my hero today!   I never did fully come out at work and have some minor regrets about not facing my fears back then.  Most people just figured I was queer and that is part of the truth, so.  Only too happy to encourage you to be that more honest version of a trans positive life.

Devlyn you look great, work hard and are fun to be with.  They are lucky to have you brighten their lives and expand their horizons.  You go girl and yeah, just keep smiling!---it drives em crazy;-)

Devlyn, I have to admit in the time I have been on the forums I have seen you grow in many ways and I'm so proud that you were able to take this step. The outfit looks beautiful on you by the way. You can do this. Big hugs

Congrats! I gather it's a fairly male dominated workplace? That would account for the frostiness I guess. I know you're more than able to stand up for yourself but just make sure you don't let them get you down.

Congrats Devlyn. Never, ever let the haters get to you. You have the right - and the privilege- to be you.

How about the people in church? They are rather conservative?

Oh. I love the red skirt.

The ESD straps ruin the look of the shoes, but they worked perfectly on the ground tester.   8)

I'm guessing it's a conduit to allow excessive and unruly electrons a way off one's bum?

I ran into the bosses son in the break room yesterday. He's about twelve. I just heard through the grapevine he asked his dad "Why does that lady have such a deep voice?"  :eusa_dance:  I'm giving them a different look today.

Oh! Oh! I know!

*raises hand*

The chain is in case someone tries to yank your chain, you can kick 'em in the teeth!

I like when you wear skirts or dresses...you have some good lookin' legs.

For some reason I thought you were out already, Devlyn? Well, congrats anyway!

Most people think my workplace is ultra conservative... but I've had nothing but positivity here.

Yes, out to them but never been to work dressed. I got more negative input last night from my lover and ended up cancelling our dinner date. It's been a rough couple days and I'm back in boy mode. I'm locking this thread because I don't want to talk about it.

Thanks everyone for the nice replies.
