Read on TwitterI am two years out today. It has been an interesting & sometimes frustrating journey and I am thankful for those who have stood by & supported me both in the meat world & cyberspace.
While I would have started this journey by myself, I was initially reluctant to start. Only after much discussion with my then Wife (now partner) did I take the first tentative steps to slowly transform myself into the Woman I am today. For 7 years I stayed in the shadows
Slowly making subtle changes in my appearance, hoping that no one would really consciously notice. Then, two years ago the changes finally gelled into what you see today. I was outed at work by a supervisor who HAD noticed both the physical as well as the mental changes in me.
She had cornered me because some of jewelry I was wearing @ the time (ear and finger rings, bracelet) violated the companies MALE dress policy. The day of reckoning had finally arrived. I had 2 choices. Remove the offending items and slink back into the shadows or reveal who I
was/am. I chose the latter. I stated to her that I identified as a Woman & that under NEVADA law, as a Trans Woman I was allowed to dress and present as a Woman & presented her with the short synopses of the Law (I knew I was pushing the envelope & prepared). After our
conversation I then let both my Supervisor & Director know what had transpired and that I indeed had stated that I identified as a Woman. Needless to say, I had just kicked over the proverbial ant hill. I was later informed that a meeting with H.R. was scheduled for the next day.
That night, I informed my Wife/Partner of what had transpired. She just sighed & muttered that she just knew that this day was coming & what the hell was I going to tell the rest of the family. What came was a very direct & in your face announcement abt me & the changes I was
going through. Needless to say, I found out that night just who my friends & family were.
OOPS! I& #39;ll finish this later Need to finish getting ready for work.

I will be in & out throughout the day updating this thread. Meat world obligations & all. As I was saying I went public in a very in your face manner. It WAS NOT appreciated by many. Screen shot of my coming out notice on FB. Not very diplomatic was it? But it my my point across
