As an crossdresser / mildly transgender person who is out only to his wife, I find it difficult to support myself and others in open settings. For example, I have recently noticed that some new employees where I work have a tendency to make remarks or comments that are insensitive at least and possibly even offensive. The kind of things that one male might say to another male like, if you're cold, wear a longer skirt tomorrow. Nothing too outright rude but there have been a few comments about " he-she" that I can't fully recall.
My problem is, I would like to say something but can't bring my self to open my mouth. I think there is a fear that if I mount a defense, that this will somehow out me to the company. With each comment that passes, I get more and more angry with myself for standing by and saying nothing. Does anyone else share this frustration and how do you handle it.
