> How on Earth could my colleagues ever carry on the same if I turned up in lipstick and heels and demanded they call me Sally? Because they are professionals, and your new look or whatever else has nothing to do with the job that needs to be done. I'd say the same about your behavior. If you keep doing the job and politely point out that you'd like to be called Sally, that's fine. If it interferes with you doing your job, then that's a problem.
