Tonight, I officially came out as transgender to my co-workers, at the works christmas party. I went as Julie, not ${BOYNAME}, and was accepted thus by everyone.
Think my boss must have suspcted for awhile; because if he's been looking at my out-of-hours activities like any decent hacker would then he must have spotted "Julie Montoya" signing some code that was embarrassingly similar in style to ${BOYNAME}'s code (he writes like a girl anyway, in a girlie language).
I love you all <3 <3 <3
