  Writing down a few thoughts and sharing as it has been 2 weeks since I announced to HR at work that I was Transgendered, was under medical supervision and I was going to transition. All of this has been an informal talk to HR one to one. very open , and to the point . On the one hand its a really big Relief, and I must admit there is a certain release of energy you get and will need all of this new found energy when you do this.

  Because .

       On the other hand there is the realization that this freedom and release means you have opened the door and walked into somewhere with people to deal with and make things happen for you . This is very different to  the past , and the protection of "your own world behind closed doors", in which you can choose avoidance , so people will not bother you .

  The contrast 

  Black box logic seems to work ,leave it.dont open the black box it will never work again if you do!!

   White box logic :- its a gift a present what nice things can we put inside it , the best thing is that you have to open the white box, .Otherwise whats the point how will you be able to use and enjoy the nice things inside.

  Well it is getting toward Christmas time , I have a lot of work and packaging presentation to do 

   

     Back to my transition at work , Message from HR is that I am the expert in this and I have to guide them, so plenty of things fro me to inform them about . Meaning I get to put all the white and black boxes into one big white Box , but they are allowed to watch so its not too much of a surprise  afterall there is nothing worse than an unwanted present, and other people will be there . And  also I am fully responsible for a happy outcome. Fair enough. get on with it .
