Tomorrow, I go to work as me, ie: not the male me. I will be 100% in my new gender role, not just outside of work. I'm sacred, excited, nervous and everything in between. So far, work have been very good with my transition and making sure that we both know what we expect of each other. It will be interesting for all of us, especially when the physical and emotional changes happen.
I met my work colleagues for the first time as 'me' last week. I have been off of work for two weeks as a break between my male persona and the start of working as my female persona. During this time, I thought it might be a good idea to meet up so they are not as surprised when I turn up for work on my first day. As I expected from my colleagues, it was like 'OK, so, where's the menu?' Perfect. The conversation was as normal, which is as it should be. (The food was ok as well. I didn't pay for it, which is even better!!)
I've spent the last two weeks relaxing, sorting some bits out, getting my wardrobe in order and beautifying myself ready for going full time. Hair cut and dyed, nails tidied up, a bit of waxing and trying to eat better and healthier. It's been bliss spending so much money for once, however I am now broke for a couple of months! It's been well worth it though.
Lastly, I would like to thank everybody for their support, advice, tea, cake, free toiletries, makeup lessons, removing the hair from my back, alcohol, nights out, messages, belief in me and my decision and your love, honesty and friendship. You all know who you are and the part you've played in my rollercoaster ride.
There is also one more thank you and that is to the person who put me back on this ride four years ago. The person who suggested that I crossdress again. I wouldn't be where I am now without you pushing me and cajoling me into it.
The future is looking a lot better than it did four and a half years ago. After 39 years and 241 days, one life is ending. A new one is beginning and what an exciting time it is and will be!! xxxx
