A Coming Out Story

The team was recently summoned to the conference room for a quick meeting. Everybody was apprehensive. When we looked around the room, one of our senior technicians was missing. Was he fired? Did he suffer a stroke? Did he elope to vegas? Such were the questions dancing in our heads. Finally, the big boss cleared his throat and spilled the beans. The team member who wasn’t in the room could no longer maintain the facade any longer. He would be undergoing a gender change.

It was a big surprise to me. The first thing that came to my mind was, why? He’s 6’1″, muscular, and good-looking with curly hair. He’s also smart and looks even smarter with those black-rimmed glasses. There’s no way he’d look like a woman. It’d be a disgrace to womanhood and depressing to women who harbor a secret crush on him.
