A first responder, teacher, doctor, nurse, or military? Are you hiding yourself from co-workers?
Thank you for all you do! I am retired military and it was so hard for me to keep my true self and desires hiding. I still have contact with some of my buddies so I still have to be careful I’m afraid I might loose their friendship.
@katey I have so much respect for all those who give such service but I haven’t served in any such way myself, and yes, I do hide my CD self from coworkers. It would just give ammunition to those who I decide to stand up against (and I do, especially against workplace management bullies). Hey ho , so there you have it. 💚
@valentina16 I admire you for standing up to the bullies. Someday we CDs will be able to strut or fem side without a lash back. HUGS
I hid for many years from co workers due to the nature of the work. It was a mixed environment of women and men and I knew the service would support me but chose not to reveal for a long time. It was towards the end of my career that I started to come out and there was a good acceptance. When I retired there were a few events where ex colleagues met up and at that time I was dressing fully. I was apprehensive at first but not one cared, I was one of them and the mutual respect remained.
If you do think about coming out then the only advice I have is what I did. I knew the ones I chose well, their thoughts, likes and dislikes and had worked with them a while, friends in work and some outside. It has worked out very well for me.
- @ab123 thank you I know I will get there someday. I think a little at a time before I jump in.

I am retired military and retired nurse. I didn't accept myself as a CD until a few years ago. The desire was always there but suppressed for a number of reasons. I finally accepted my dressing and feminine side a few years ago. It was a bit difficult with my wife initially but has gotten better.

@cdsue my desires were always strong which made it difficult to hide. Someday I hope to be the real me full time. Thank you for your service and being a nurse.
I regularly under dress at work, don't know if I would be brave or game enough to ever go to work fullly dressed. Plus I don't know what effect it would have with regards to my identity in my job.
@kelgels hi Clara, I know what you mean about how your employer would react. I’m still in the shadows as well but I do have my secret hiding just under my work clothes. My undies do bring a smile and warm feeling and gets me through the day.
Katey, like you I'm retired military, as well as retired federal law enforcement, so was always careful to keep my dressing very discreet.
