  Well, I came out ot work today to the HR person. It was unbeleiveably hard to start the conversation. I was on the verge of hyperventilating. It was almost like an out of body experience where I was outside myself while I was talking to her. Maybe that fact the she was a woman made it a little easier but it was still one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I know I shouldn't think that all women will be that accepting. That would be like saying that all mtf transexuals desire men. She was very accepting and supportive. I was so relieved and overhwhelmed that we both ended up crying before it was over. I can't beleive I screwed up the courage to do this. Every small step brings me closer to the person I know I want do be. I hope my writing this will help someone else find their voice.
