Yesterday I went to work wearing a pair of black denim leggings. I was scared, apprehensive but I knew it was something I had to do. No one said anything which frankly I prefer. I just don't think gender orientation should be a big deal one way or another. It is just who we are. But the real surprise, at least to me, was not the reaction of others. It was mine. I felt a certain calmness. Perhaps it was because I was, in a small way, publicly acknowledging what I had held back for so long. Now I'm not going to go into work tomorrow with painted nails, lipstick, etc. Not that I wouldn't want to lol. But everyone has to find their comfort level. Yesterday was it for me.
