On Friday at work one of the guys I work with was in a good mood. The guys I work with tend to be into that macho back and chest slapping stuff. Well he slapped me in the chest and hit dead center on my right breast. Ouch. The look on his face says he noticed something. I don't have much there yet but what I do have is definitely not male like anymore. Next week at work should be interesting. I am really not ready to come out at work yet. It's a bit scary.

Ouch! Was it a playful slap or one of those man slaps guys do to each other that usually leaves someone red chested? Also If you plan to come out at work I want to wish you all the best, and most importantly.. try to avoid them man hands if you can.

Chest slapping? What the...? Never heard that one before. I doubt he'd put two and two together, hopefully not. Although it would stop him whacking you in the chest.

it was a playful slap. I think he put things together because he posted a link to a song called who am I and said it wasn't about him. I do plan on coming out at work in the future but now is not the time. Either way I guess our lives are all about change and how we deal with it.

Trust me Grace it exists, Ive seen my brother do it once with his friend they take off their shirts and slap each others chests and roar till one of them gives up. XD

@robin - thank god! I thought you might have been sore for a day or so.

Just remember that co-workers won't be in your life forever.  Sooner or later you or them will move onto other jobs.  So in the end their opinion doesn't matter.

Ah, must be one of examples of that so called "male bonding" then. Another one would be taking baseball bats and whalloping each other over the head until one of them falls down on the ground.
Just kiddin'.
