After a week on-line I was able to start coming out.
The reason for this is simple: I wanted to be able to exchange e-mail with the girls and I couldn't because my boss uses the same machine to connect to the Internet from the office and Eudora is not a multi-user program. I was very afraid that my boss would want to get his e-mail here at the office and might stumble into the mail from my sisters. Well after looking over the net I found a great collection of transgendered coming out letters for both work and family and friends! I read all of these and sat down and wrote a heart felt letter to my boss!
The next morning I told him that I needed to come in late because I had to do my laundry and get a shower. I worked really late the night before! After enough time went by for him to get to the office I called him and told him to open Eudora and read the letter addressed to him.
Subject: the real me
Mark, this has been hard for me to figure out how to tell you this so I have 2 computers built first. :-)
Mark I am what is called a Transexual. Eventually I hope to take hormones then a year or so later have a sex change operation. I am not telling you this because it is in the near future but because I feel like I am living a lie by not telling you. I rate you in my top 1 or 2 friends. I am not gay or a faggot or what ever you want to call it. I have never felt an attraction to any male, only females. If this will not change how we work together or it is not offensive to you so much that it will ruin our friendship I will feel privileged to keep working for you!
This did not start in the recent past but started at my youngest memory. I have always felt that I was meant to be a female! I have dressed in woman's clothing and even been caught once by my parents and sent to counseling when I was a teenager. I denied everything!
I have reason to see your company grow and prosper because the money is going to come from working for you. It will take at least $25,000 for the total package which after you could see me naked and not be able to tell I was ever a man! Oh I guess if I went that far I would try sex at least once but then you would never have to worry about a date.
Sit and think about it for a half hour. Take the phones off the hook put up the back in 30 mins sign. I will be dressed and ready to go if you think that every thing will not be exactly the same but no major differences!
I hope in 2 or 3 years or less, to be able to live full time as a woman and I will give you warning! Anyway guess what my Halloween costume will be :) ! So after you think about it you can then come and get me! And away we go! Or you can call and ask to talk to me on the phone and just say that you can't handle it and don't want me to come to work. I may cry but it would be for the best! If you would like more information load up Netscape and go to Mberz FAQs
After my laundry and shower was done I told him he could come and pick me up. I hinted around the subject on the way to work then asked him straight out if he read the letter.
He said that the phones started ringing off the hook and he didn't have time so I walked over to the computer and loaded up Eudora. And told him that he wouldn't be bothered to read the message and walked out and closed the door behind me..after about 15 min. I had a note to give him about a call from a valued customer and when I went in I asked him If he had read the message he said that he did and I asked him what he thought? He said that it didn't matter to him a bit. I was elated!
Later that day I called a genetic girl (here after called gg) on a phone line I knew was being listened to from her boss' house who I wasn't ready to tell. I told her that I would call her that evening and blow her mind. That evening I called her and asked her if she knew what a transexual was. She said yes so I told her that I was one. She couldn't say much more that oh my god I don't believe it ! for 5 min.
But after she said she thought it was great and we talked. I told her of another gg co-worker that had known for 3 years. Then next day I had my ears pierced and on the day after I told my second best friend and another friend who still worked for an ex-empoyer. I told about nine people over the nexte few days. All accepted it.
