'Michael Wallent, a general manager at Microsoft, will return to work in January as Megan Wallent. He came out to colleagues as transgender last month, first in person and then by email. Wallent says he encountered nothing but support -- mixed, of course, with some awkward curiosity'

That's really cool.  It leaves out a lot of information but oh well, I guess that's what you can expect hehe.

If you even read the comments, look at all that support in a sense, and the one horrible one I did read everyone started bashing the person who wrote it.  It's sort of funny in a sense, I would think more people would write horrible things just because it's human nature.  Maybe I'm just too paranoid of the world though.
