		<description>Hot topic, and nice article. Glad this got as much attention as it did and helped push them over the edge into writing the other point of view. 
 
Way to stick up for those of us trying to break the mold of what you have to be to gain a successful and reputable business from others view. </description>

		<description>I totally agree: 
 
At the end of the day I don&#039;t care if someone I employ cross dresses the weekend and posts pictures of it on their blog so long as the work they do is of high standard and given in on time.  
 
I am actually more likely to hire someone, after reading their blog. Because it gives a sense of what they are like. Yes some employers are prudes but at the end of the day your not going to want to work with them and they aren&#039;t going to want to work with you. This way you get to work with people who know what to expect because they &quot;know you&quot; from reading your writings.  
 
I have managed to get freelance work from my blog, I even worked full time at a company whom discovered my blog half way through my contract and said I wouldn&#039;t have needed an interview if they had seen it I would have been hired over the phone, which surprised me because I had always been told that companies hated blogs. </description>

		<description>You were the first person I thought of when reading that article. 
 
My guess is that your unique style combined with your up-front and honest personality could be pretty attractive for clients, maybe that&#039;s why it&#039;s working so well for you? </description>
