acceptance

[JLynn17]

so at work everyone knows i live part time as girl named JLynn for tomorrow at work we r having a big party at boss's house, while sitting around drinking after work tonight we was talking about party and one of guy said you need to show up as JLynn to party, I was like ha ya right I'd prob get kicked out of his house, him standing right beside me said man i dont care what u do as long as you show up and cook as good as you do and work as hard as you do , then pretty much everyone chimed in that they like me and think thats cool i already know they accept me, but im really pretty nervous showing up in front of all my coworkers as JLynn but not really because i know im already accepted im more nervous about what to wear lol its a pool party im thinkin girl outta wear but guy swim wear :)...

JLynn,

This is a juicy post. My fantasy no doubt. Sounds like you are going to the party as JLynn...adding some color to their lives too.

I would act like a lady, probably wear a summer type maxi dress or something demure.

Or just be yourself..I am just saying I wouldn't be sexy for them, because its people from your job. Who knows what type of reactions you are going to get, so I would try to remain in control of the situation by keeping sexiness on the sidelines.

Have fun. Its the summertime and the livin is easy♫♫

It's nice to have this kind of acceptance - especially from the boss. Sounds like you are pretty much "out" as being TG at work. Are you planning to transition on the job?

I'm with Noemi when she suggests something feminine but not too sexy.

The pool aspect is a bit more of a poser. I would have been a little wary about sending out mixed signals, although if you don't plan to transition then your suggestion might work.

I agree that it is awesome that you are accepted there. I think that a casual but conservative feminine outfit (shorts and cami, sandals) would be good. And I'd skip the pool scene altogether!

[JLynn17]

skip the pool scene no freakin way i love water volleyball :) plus my tan is in need of getting one, I do plan to transition am 4 months on hormones so my chest isnt noticable noticable but ya you can see it ya know? but im not worried about it im pretty open about who I am, but to be accepted by my known to be a homophobe boss is awesome

but to be accepted by my known to be a homophobe boss is awesome

It may be all cool now but just a word of caution, once a homophobe always homophobe. Watch your back down the road because you will be the first to go when push comes to shove.

I second jorgas opinion. Don't go to a company party as Jlynn until you are full time at work. What? are you going to go back to work the next day as joe dude and expect to be taken seriously once you do finally transition? In my opinion you will only be shooting yourself in the foot if you play into some guys off hand suggestions which were probably made for no other reason than his own entertainment.

I have to agree with Aprilrain on this one. If they ask you why, I'd tell them that they are not going to see you in fem mode until the day comes for full transition. Sure, they are curious and want to see you, but in the long run it could be at your expense.

So I just got back from party it was freakin awesome... here is how i went i avoided pool all together, sat around edge drinkin margaritas and crazy drinks which is a mixture of alot of liquer that taste like kool aid strong than the margaritas .. any way it was a great time good fire works and no one tripped on me at all, every one loves me even more now and want me to start going to work like this since i do outside work all time anyway... but naw its too hot back there and i wear make up to work but never a dress lol dunno what health department would say about that anyway

I'm glad it went well for you and I hope it continues to go well. So will you take this opportunity to go full time then?

[JLynn17]

I dont see it really as an opportunity to go full time, but its definatly a step to get me closer as I know this is another part of my life im comfortable and safe being JLynn
