I do not get along with my inlaws at all. They would smile if I were to get hit and killed by a bus. Most of the time we can tolerate each other, but often a small thing will pop up and then they use it as an excuse to attack me over my crossdressing. They know about my crossdressing. My wife was understandably upset at me (I admit I was a jerk, but didn't warrant expousure) one night and told her parents about me. That was 11 years ago and they constantly try to get my wife to leave me.
Recently, we lost power for a week due to a bad ice storm and my inlaws invited my wife and the kids to stay with them. My wife initially said no, since we are a family and a family stays together. So they allowed me to stay as well. I posted to my friends on facebook (my inlaws are NOT nor will they ever be on my facebook) "Help, stuck at inlaws! I need a Hero!" Well they somehow found out about that a few days ago.
My mother inlaw was pissed to find that out and called me up and threatened to call my work and tell them I crossdress. Now I explained to her that it was done mostly as a joke, and told her I appreciate her letting us stay with her for a week. Who really wants to stay with the inlaws for a whole week? She even admits that she doesn't like her inlaws, but of course this is a different situation since I am married to her daughter. Still she insisted on telling my work. I gave her the number to my direct supervisor.
Everytime we face a conflict she threatens to tell people about me. Like I am ashamed? I am not. I hope she finally does go through with the threat and really do call me boss. I am a public employee for the state of Ohio and work for the city of Dayton. I am covered under Ohio law:
Ohio House Bill 176 Sec. 9. 03. Paragraph C Subparagraph 1c:
(c) Promotes illegal discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity as those terms are defined in section 4112.01 of the Revised Code, race, color, religion, national origin, handicap, age, or ancestry;
That would be AWESOME if they did fire me for being trans/crossdress! I would never have to work a day in my life again!!!!!
If she did call my boss, my boss wouldn't do anything about it anyway. Who would take a call like that seriously? My cousin is an army recuiter and he constantly gets anomalous calls about new recuits being gay/transgendered to keep them from joining (parents, girlfriends, enemies call trying to keep them out). My cousin just ignores them.
My dad is a Human Resource manager for a major company in SW Ohio and he gets several calls a month about someone is gay or a drug dealer or even a hooker. My dad just ignores them and doesn't waste any time investigating.
My job won't waste anytime either; but it would be awesome if they did and do in fact fire me for being trans.
