I just stared a new job on Monday and it was pretty fun with the people were there. The saes floor had hit 3 saves per account that comes through higher than they ever had. So, the project manager of the team was voted to wear la dress the next day. Everybody was getting pumped for the day because this dude has a beard and is all masculine. The dress none the less was pitiful. At any rate they were laughing at him and taking pictures and calling him a crossdresser. For some reason this hit a really big nerve for me for them to be doing such a thing when they claim to be an equal opportunity employer. The day before I was requested to state something interesting about myself and I told everyone that I had my son on the same day as my sisters and they were born 2 hours apart with the also the meat of the story, but didn't disclose that I'm transsexual. I did this so that I could make a point later.
Well, the next day came and he prolonged his journey into the dress as long as possible. Finally, when he did get into it he looked pretty cute! But, they were all still calling him a crossdresser. So, later when It was requested of me to present something interesting about myself I reiterated the story and told them that it was actually my ex wife that bore the child and that I am transsexual. I don't think half of them knew the significance of me saying I'm transsexual. One of the guys in there came up to me and said that he was gay and that he truly admired my courage and bravery for outing myself to he entire training class and impressed that I would do such a thing. We talked for a little bit and during our conversation he asked me why I did it. I told him how it irked me that thy would make fun of someone no matter a true crossdresser or not. My thought was that if they are truly an equal opportunity employer and they mocked a crossdresser, what would they do when they found that a mtf transsexual was sitting among them and they didn't know.
The reaction I got was none but short f what I had expected, but more than what I had hoped. The entire class clapped as several people came up and gave me a hug. I even have an LDS lady looking out for me. as several other people. I'm happier than happy at such a wonderful response and it all stemmed from something as simple as another being in my IMO mistreated.
