I won't be sleeping much tonight,as I start my new job tomorrow!I was struggling with the very existence of my true self,and had most issues resolved and in place,to begin to build around the woman that I have become.
But ,the most important aspect,was employment.I have been out of work for over a year now;and any jobs before that were futile attempts at using my male to make a living for me.Poor fellow had nothing left in him...and it took a year to figure that out!Once I identified the elephant in the room,I decided to surrender to myself,and just not fight it any more.
Things started to fall in place,...I came out to those close to me and have had exceptional support,more that I could have ever expected!And I allowed myself to fully permeate my conscious and sub-conscious minds with acceptance of female self,no matter what I was or wasn't wearing,but accepted full control and responsibility for whatever happens next...come what may...So,I could not re-focus to the male,(maybe enough to fake it,...barely),and I thought that I would change the type of work to something that may help my transition,..down the road.
Anyway,during the interview,(dressed as male),I thought that if an opening presented itself,I would inform them of my,...thing...So,it did,and I said,"I am a Transgender person,...I will identify here at work as male,but I identify as female at home".They said it wasn't an issue and that I should let them know when I want to come out so they came hold a staff meeting and let everyone know to use proper pronouns.And then they HIRED me!I still can't believe it!This is the independence and freedom I could only have dreamed of.And to make this even more spectacular is that I will be working for a woman's social support agency!
An way,I can guarantee that I won't be sleeping much tonight....hope I don't sleep in...teehee!
