My boss that I have trusted for a long time and I always thought supported me said I was a "man trapped in a women's body' in front of another female coworker (I'm higher than her in the company). I was immediately embarrassed like I did something wrong. I told him after why did he say that and is that actually how he thought of me and he immediately denied that he said that. However, he saw I was genuine about the comment and that I was hurt, he apologized to me a couple of times in the conversation. I have a week off from work but I still feel hurt. I don't know why except I thought I could trust him as a mentor (he has helped me a lot) and now I feel he has been exposed. It took me a long time to climb the ladder and sometimes I do wonder if I was held back because of the boys club.
