Workplace hostility...

[Nicole Erin]

And everyone has been great, I actually can't believe how easy it's been.

I think it depends on a few factors how easy or hard someone has it. The place I work is pretty diverse and very seldom have I had anyone react weird. They just treat me like anyone else.
Though live this full time but of course people know my gender status. I don't talk about it or act like some drag queen though, which probably helps. I have a friend who works at another company who catches a lot of hell but her work station is LOUDLY decorated with TG flags and stuff.

For me, I would love to wear my 5" heels to work, but working in maintenance would make that difficult.

No thanks. Those kind of heels are good for "play time" but having to walk or stand for any amount of time, give me my ragged ol Saucony sneakers.
