Hi there, I posted a couple pics on here once before, but I wanted to ask the community a question and I hope I get some feedback. Excuse me if I break any unwritten Reddit rules. A bit about myself...I'm a professional guy in his late 20s who is well educated, healthy, fit, and financially sound. I like typical guy things, and nobody would suspect that at night I like to dress up in sexy girly outfits....but I do. As many of you probably realize, the mainstream world can be a pretty conservative place, especially in an office. We do a costume day for Halloween, and one guy dressed up like a girl. I wished I could dress, but I was too scared to do it. It was a good thing too, because it seemed like he got a lot of torment for it. And unlike me, it didn't seem like he was doing it for any kind of self satisfaction other than to make a joke. It meant something totally different to him. But everyone was giving him a hard time all day. I could tell that it was getting to him a little bit, because he was just trying to have fun. It made me remember that to the rest of the world, this thing is a total joke, and that it's socially acceptable to make fun of us. I was glad I didn't dress up for work for fun, because I'm not sure when these people are going to let it go. It would make me crazy. All that being said...I want to dress up more and go out and do things and meet people. I even want to put up better pictures, but I worry about what kind of effect this kind of exposure could have on my career. I don't particularly feel the need to share this with people who don't need to know, but I worry about how other people might find out about it and then somehow use it against me and impact my ability to make an income. I make commissions, and personal networks make or break my numbers. And I don't think changing jobs is an option with the economy the way it is since this salary really pays my bills. I like the job, I don't want to have to quit. It would be very bad for my life. I guess my question for the more experienced people out there is how do you deal with this sort of thing? Do you just try to be very discreet? Have any of you had to deal with being outed at work? In a way, I guess these people might feel like I have been lying to them about my personality if they found out about my hobby. Any comments (or questions) are welcome and encouraged. Thanks.
