There isn’t much to tell, actually. I came out on October 10, 2015 in front of ~130 people. I was the Mistress of Ceremonies for an annual entertainment event put on by my LGBT employee affinity group. He had hired Ian Harvie, a trans man comedian, to be our entertainment and for me it was a golden opportunity. Later on in the month I was involved in 2 other events, where I was not dressed, but I discussed the entertainment event and closed with a photo of me with Ian Harvie. For that October I came out to ~205 people including my daughter and son, 7-8 close friends and my department manager. I have a photo of me with Ian and I’ll see if I can post that later.
However, the key point is that I retired about 4 months later and I never went to work dressed. Although some of my peers were in the audience, no one ever approached me outside of a couple of training events where I presented the transgender piece.
