I went to one of the professors in my department today to ask if we could talk so I could come out, and I saw he had a copy of George by Alex Gino on his bookshelf, so basically in summary it went really well.
I started coming out to a few folks at work to find support and figure out how transition could go here, and since then I'm sort of working my way down the hall and grabbing folks when they're available? I dunno, it isn't very efficient, but it's personal and kind of reassuring?
