So, I damn near came out at work last night. I was down on the end of our unit that only staffs two nurses and a tech (if we have one). The nurse said she wanted to see a picture of me with long hair, so I pulled up my Flickr and first showed them the most recent pic of me with what I considered long hair, which was only because I couldn't even afford to get my hair cut at the time. The nurse said, "You could actually pass for a man in that one, even with the hair." I was like, "Yeah? You think so?" Maybe sounded too excited about that, cause I never thought I looked at all masculine in that pic. Then I showed them some much, much older pics with long hair, before I ever got it all cut off, like from 25 years ago. The tech said, "Wow, you look like a girl in those pics." The nurse said, "She is a girl, Betty." I kind of grimaced and said, "Well...." And Betty asked, "What? You don't like looking like a girl?" I quickly said, "No. I don't. Not at all." Part of my head was screaming, "Just tell them!!!!" But then the call light went off, and we had to go do work, so the moment to have done it passed me by.
