Hurray for you. You conquered your fear and it worked out for you. I am pretty sure if I had come to work dressed as a woman I wouldn't have had the twenty year career that I did. It was a different time. That's why I respect the ones who have gone before. They did what they had to do and in so many ways I view their actions as that of trailblazers. Dena one of our Mods transitioned in the early eighties. I remember the first time I saw Caroline Cossey on the Donahue show and you could tell he was taken by her beauty. Then there was Renee Richards the tennis player. These were my examples. Today there is Gigi,Carmen, Lavern, Isis, Candice, Janet among others to show you the way. So many of the youngsters are transitioning beautifully. Hopefully some day you can find peace in your decision and not have to "come out". You are just accepted as being someone who was born in another's body. Not because you chose it, but that they have finally done the research to show that in most cases it is not a choice.
