docrobbysherry, you are very right about the PC atmosphere. I think that at times, people say some very un-PC things
simply because they need a break from having to watch what they say around others.
I am very anti-PC. In fact, i don't stand for it one bit. However, as has kinda been pointed out, especially by my last
post, what you do, and how you are received depends on the people and the environment at the workplace. In both of
my call center jobs that I have had, the people I deal with are on the phone, and can not tell that I am a woman. I sound
like a man (most of the time), and that is how I am treated. My current co-workers either accept and/or compliment me,
or they shut up and stay to themselves. That's fine by me.
The events staffing job is different, and it would not be appropriate for me to be subjected to the judgement call of everyone
I would meet each day at work. I also would not want to impact the number of people attending the event. My point is not that
bigotry against crossdressing should be allowed ... it is that we as people need to have some respect for the workplace and the
other people there.
You know, it may be that the workplace is simply not where you want to be expressing your female side. You are there to work.
You are there to use your skills for the betterment of the company. You are not being paid to express your gender identity. This
is why you have to look at each work situation and see what you can, and what you might want to get away with, so to speak. At
the moment, I am happy with the amount of expression I get to have at my jobs. Now, out in the general world, it's completely
different, and I don't care what anyone else thinks, and I am dressed up almost 100% of the time.
