Nice thread.
My transition at work is little more than going from clean cut albeit bearded attorney to long haired attorney who oughta play in a metal band. And I'm in such a minority in my legal community I am uncomfortable with how much I stand out. Every new court appearance and every new business client I meet makes me feel like I'm on that high dive board LeaP.
But it's me. I am not trying to look like a woman. I am way happier. So it's a matter of just pressing on.
But as I work for others, I need a backup plan. I need more contacts in case I need to launch a solo career. So I signed up for a network club. I need to attract business associates who dig a rebel lawyer.
Your story is encouraging to me LeaP, as are all the others - even Arbons and Josees and Bad Trannys on the dime concerns she's shared over the years. Because in each story is the knowledge we can do it, we can find ourselves and our way.
