that I do work for about becoming a full time employee. Now, the girls
in the office all know about Heather, but he does not. At the end of our
meeting I told him that I had something that I had been wanting to talk
to him about. We agreed that I was definitely a very unique individual.
I told him that I liked being able to work from home some of the time,
and I wanted to show him something that might explain some of my
"uniqueness". I showed him a photo of Heather. His response was "is that
you?". I told him that it was. He told me that so long as I was
"professional" with the clients he had no issues with me being "unique".
He even went so far as to say "I will vehemently defend your right to be
unique".

Oh, Heather, your post left me a little bit nervous! Of course it's great that you're out to your boss and even better that he had such a positive and accepting reaction. What worried me was the risk of misunderstanding euphemisms. I know, I wasn't there and can't get a feel for how well the two of you were communicating, but, "unique?" What does that mean to him? You and he were using that term before you came out to him in the conversation. Exactly what sort of unique attributes was he thinking of? Also, "professional" with clients? Is he thinking that a nice pant suit looks professional or that it's professional for you to keep your crossdressing out of the office? Sorry if I'm over reacting, You know I just love ya.
Hugs and a kiss,
Sonia
I don't think Heather should be around the clients in his mind, but I could be mistaken. At least my heels or Heather stopping in after hours should not be an issue now.
