greetings from planet wisconsin...
oh hi y'all.
i'm new here. well, not entirely... i joined the community a few weeks ago, but haven't posted until now. so ummm.... yep! i'm rachael. 20something, living in wisconsin, and hopefully going full time girl in the next couple of months. yeah, still trying to work that into my life... especially with certain family members who refuse to acknowledge my existence. but hey, we'll see; pretty much everyone else in my life is 100% supportive.
still kinda freaked out about coming out at work tho. i know i shouldn't be... i mean, i rock at my job, and everyone at work already thinks i'm pretty strange. although from what i hear, the rumor mill has created this situation that everyone knows that i'm transsexual, except i'm not supposed to know that they know, but they all know. like how i ran into my supervisor at the pride festival... whoooo that was strange.
ANYWAY, anyone have good ideas on how to beat that stupid fear i have in the back of my head when it comes to my professional life and me being me? i think my biggest fear is that i don't pass all the time... but it's also kind of getting to the point where i just don't care anymore. whew. i'm going to end now and just hope y'all have some advice for me.
