If you don't mind me asking, why did your boss ask you? It's just that I can't even imagine my boss doing that.... Link to post Share on other sites

rachelpenguin Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 So I came out to one of my trusted colleagues. They said it doesn’t change their opinion of me in the slightest. I know it does against everyone’s advice (I’m so sorry) but I felt like I was going to explode. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad it worked out.  And also impressed that you thought to take advice before acting and then weighed it all up and decided what was best for you. Link to post Share on other sites
rachelpenguin Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Things are so much easier now that I'm out to a few people at work. It's not affected work whatsoever, but it's nice knowing that I can talk about the prejudice I face sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites

When I came out recently to a friend, she asked me why I might be concerned about telling her. I told her I didnt know how she'd react. She flat out told me that me being asexual had no bearing on our friendship.🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

Custard Cream Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I came out to a colleague I trust because I was having a tough time after coming out to my partner and really needed to talk about it. I knew she would be great as we have supported each other through bereavements in the last 4 months. I wouldn't want it widely known though - There are some big gossip mongers in the office. I've been lucky though - being married has protected me from most of the rubbish many Aces have to deal with. Link to post Share on other sites
