Here's my latest update. This is really starting to snowball rapidly, but then I'm pushing hard to do so.
I'm now finished telling all the staff that report to me, and anyday this week an email will go out to the broader company announcing the hiring of Natasha http://www.rosesforum.tv/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif
My team has been unbelievable.
4 of the 6 of them happy I was remaining their manager (they thought my news would be that I'm moving on!), than the fact I'm transitioning. Not that I asked, they just blurted it out. The other two are fine too and happy to continue working for me.
3 of them mentioned they knew already, anyway. So this just formalized what they suspected anyway.
1 of them was absolutely remarkable. After telling her, she said, "is that all, I thought you weren't going to be my manager anymore!" and then followed that by saying, "I've always thought you had nice features".
As you can imagine, I've had the most remarkable day today http://www.rosesforum.tv/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif
I'm so fortunate to work with such amazing people.
Others I've told already have started calling me Nats, and engaging with me on a new level, especially the women. They've started "inviting" me into their world, by talking about their private stuff even when I'm around.
I spent a few moments with my wife this evening discussing the timing for telling the children. That will happen early in September before we visit the extended family.
That's it for now. I hope in some small way, my progress give hope to others and restores some of our faith in humanity.
