Let me just post briefly on my experience of the above events.

I was shocked, when Rain had sent me a text at work at my other job and said they asked if it was Sarah or Tommy they where speaking to. I thought perhaps okay, maybe one person knew, and even then the acceptance of that sort of floored me at first.

Then when I got to work, and everyone made it a point to call me Tommy, and I saw that my paperwork for sign in had been changed to Tommy as well. I was like wow, so everyone knows. It was a very good feeling to know that was one less place I had to try and hide myself for the time being. It was an even better feeling to see such acceptance, without having to fight for it. I didn't have to explain, all I had to do was say hey, my name is Tommy.

Outside of this community here on this site, I have never really experienced that. I have one or two close friends who have always been very accepting of me, but it has always been the case with those that I met outside this site that they would question me, or not be completely accepting. So this was a first for me, having an entire group of people whom I respect and enjoy spending time with, just accept me.

So it was a great experience for me, and it warmed my heart, and boosted my confidence a bit, for the entire night I was a lot more out going with everyone, as I am sure Rain can atest to.
