Well, as the song goes, whatever will be will be… some of you may have noticed a lack of presence, a revert to ‘lurker’ status, well I did make a promise to myself many, many months ago not to post another ‘woe is me’ bad new story… But..
I sit here now entering my fifth week stood down from work whilst they dot every ‘i’ and cross every ‘t’ to ensure my employment termination has sufficient lawful grounds to negate any counter I may postulate. Not discriminatory, no, they are merely ensuring the safety of other staff. Apparently these staff can be as abusive or as demeaning as they want, they can pretty much run through every page if the ‘what not to say to a transsexual’ handbook with impunity where as if I even articulating any suggestion that I may defend myself, well that certainly constitutes a clear and present danger to those poor, innocent petals.. Even worse, the training and skills I possess apparently amplify this threat and add to the impetus to remove me from the work environment with all haste. All this catalysed by my receipt of and tabling ‘the letter’ and suggesting, nay actively seeking, a change of status at work and in all remaining aspects of life. Bye bye boy, hello genuine me…
Not only is work being obstreperous, even the very legislature I live under has hidden IEDs’, Gay marriage was federally overturned here several years ago, and as an unplanned ‘bonus’, any existing marriage meeting the gay category, ie mine when I change gender marker from M to F, is immediately and ‘un-appealabley’ annulled…
But, to counterpose the negativity, I have spent the last four week fully and irrevocably full time and I’m sure there is no force on this planet capable of pushing me back to the lie. I have never been so happy, so authentically me. So happy, unemployed, broke but happy and so very me...
