Responses to coming out
I recently came out to the teachers, the board, and my highschool student’s parents at the Workshop and the board and teachers at my full-time job. Here are some of the responses I’ve received…
From a parent who, honestly, I was worried would be a problem:
The X Family
From a fellow teacher:
Rock on, R!
I am honored to know you, R! You are the first person of my acquaintance to transition, and I am in awe of the courage and commitment to self your transitioning represents.
Another teacher:
Dear R,
I am honored that you have included me in this.
I do and will support you in this transition.
All my best.

And from an assistant teacher who I’m already out to:
Awesome! *dance dance dance* I’m really impressed!
From a board member:
I’m proud of you and the brave step you have taken in your life towards a
happy and fulfilling 2009!
And from a co-worker:
You are one of the bravest people I know!
I don’t know that I’m all that brave (a subject for another post) but, all in all, the responses have been pretty damn good!
