Tiring week over


JayM

1,276 views

I've just spent a week away from home, working. Early starts: late finishes. Not so much sleep over the past few days but it was a good week, nevertheless. 

I've spent the last few evenings in the company of my team mates and my manager. It was the first time we had all managed to get together like that for a couple of years. And it was great to see their initial reactions to my appearance were positive. It was great to experience their total acceptance of who I am first-hand, in the flesh, because while we've all interacted over the phone many times, that was the first time I've been in their presence since I began to transition. 

I'm lucky to work with people like that. I'm also lucky to work for the company that I work for. The acceptance is almost universal. Over the course of this week, I met many of the other employees and had to introduce myself and talk to them; the vast majority were strangers to me before this week. Not one person looked at me oddly when I gave them my name. Not one person avoided me when they realised I was transgender. Everyone behaved impeccably towards me.

This week has boosted my confidence and self-esteem enormously. 

Peace and love to everyone.

I'm so happy to hear this from you! Indeed, that's the kind of confidence builder we all need. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to come out... I applaud you for that, too. 

Isn't it wonderful to finally start feeling good in your own skin?

Bravo!

Emma
