So I thought this might be nice for people to read.
I recently came out to a co-worker who has been inviting me to eat lunch with her. She thinks it is awesome but doesn't treat me any differently than before she knew which is great =) Then a couple of days ago I was chatting to a teacher who had requested that I find a trans video (one of my jobs) and she guessed that my interest was a little more than professional. She asked if anyone else at my work knew that I had this superpower and nominated me to run the gay group =D Context: I work in a very progressive secondary school library.

Hello AS6855: I have to admit I don't quite know what to make of this. So... were you pleased with the responses you received from these individuals? Personally, I think that assuming someone would be a good choice to run the "gay group" because they are trans is presumptuous & not at all knowledgeable with regard to the differences between a person who is transgender & a person who is gay. But that's just me. How do you feel about it?

I was happy. I just want to be accepted, not treated any differently.
That's my paraphrasing, I call it gay group because I'm used to those groups being made up of mostly gay boys but it is the "SPECTRUM" group or a group for the alphabet soup. I have been talking to the openly trans boy here. Also, I am pansexual so I do have a non-hetero sexuality *shrugs*
