Gay It Forward:TRANSAmerica

I haven't done one of these posts in awhile, but here we go. Yesterday, while at work (I work in a grocery store), I noticed a young woman come in. I took a quick glance at her and thought nothing of it, it's not like I was checking for her or something. About 5 minutes later the young woman began to walk in my direction and after closer inspection, I noticed her chiseled face and big veiny hands, I realized this young woman was actually a young MAN. About 30 minutes pass and the young woman/man reappears as she heads towards the exit, within 30 seconds of her leaving all my co workers began cackling and whispering, "Was that a boy or a girl?" It turns out she was a transvestite whom had apparently applied for a job at the store I work at and had just been interviewed for a position. My source tells me she actually had a good interview.

I couldn't help but think what would happen if she got hired. Would she come in as a boy or girl? How would she be treated by the other employees? How would the customers react to her? The store I work at is in a predominately white, middle class neighborhood. I personally wouldn't have a problem with her working there, who I am to judge anyone.

How would you feel working with a transvestite in a professional working environment?
