    My first day at work

    This past Thursday after much thought and talking with my HR people as well as coming out to many
    coworkers I decided it was time to be full time Rachael at work. I recieved a lot of nice words and
    complements. I never really expected this to happen just a year or so ago. Yet the more things began
    to come together the more I knew it was time to stop hiding myself. I had began wearing makeup at
    work for about a month and this now seemed the natural progression.
    I'm very fortunate to work for a company that is very LGBT friendly and they have been most helpful.
    A lot ahead for me but I just need to go one step at a time.

    I've attached a couple of pictures of my outfit on my first work day as Rachael

    Way to go! See how those "one step" at a time accomplishments lead somewhere that seem like big leaps. Keep up the good work.

    Awesome! Congrtulations! I totally admire the folks who come out in a corporate setting. I was self-employed when I started coming out and I don't think that requires as much day-to-day bravery.
    I am not a woman; I don't want to be a woman; I don't want to be mistaken for a woman.
    I am not a man; I don't want to be a man; I don't want to be mistaken for a man.
    I am a transgender person. And I'm still figuring out what that means.

    Rachel:

    While I only know of you through CD.COM, allow me to offer my heartfelt congratulations to you for having the courage to live your life authentically, and let me say that I am proud of you for doing so! Way to go. Help the rest of us by relating the good, the bad, and the ugly --- tell us what works well and what doesn't.

    Dallas, Texas must be a tough place to do that-- wishing you the best.

    Rhonda.
