I was at lunch with a friend at someplace I thought was safe and someone from my work happened to be there and overheard me speaking to my friend. The rumor mill began. Several people stopped talking and began avoiding me. One individual tried to “out” me to a friend (her daughter is a lesbian) in front of me. She had enough integrity to immediately shut him down. While I am in no means in the Executive Suite, I have a high profile in my Company. Also too, I am active my small, rural community. I was sent unflattering pictures of crossdressers to my corporate email. I believe this was caught by IT and it went away very quickly after that.
Pre-pandemic, I went out often to gay clubs and to friends’ houses. Now, I do not dress as much now or speak about my feelings to anyone, effectively back in the closet I am soon to be retired from all work and community responsibilities and hope to come out once more.
