Are you serious?

I’m a Trans man, and I haven’t come out to the guy who is trying to get me into the job. He is one of the customers that come by the shop so my private life hasn’t really come up, I’m sure as hell not gonna speak up now. I’m not “pretending to be a woman” as much as I’m keeping myself in the closet, which means I am allowing myself to be misgendered and relying on how I don’t pass 100% right now so that I can get into this job and not have to resort to selling my body for money, as so many trans people have to do to survive yknow, since sometimes we have a harder time getting into good jobs and all. Probably harder than it is for cis women, at least.

So yes, as said, I am relying on my female privilege and blackness to get me into this job right now. It’s not misogyny you goons, it’s transphobia that I am trying to dodge here.

And for all the reasons why you are wrong about the wage gap, scroll thro my blog for 3 seconds and you will see some information for you. If you are too lazy for that, here’s the masterpost: https://takashi0.tumblr.com/post/144207726829/slagartehfox-switch-up-snowfox

And for your information, again, yes they do need to meet these quotas, they need a certain number of “female hours” logged, and they are trying to use me to do just this. Why the hell else would they be bending the rules for me and putting all this emphasis on being a black woman if…they didn’t give a shit about the “poorly enforced quota” make sense for a second, it is May and they don’t take applications until January so how am I having these conversations in not January if they’re not trying to enforce this shit? Like…damn, think about it. If you think it’s morally bankrupt of me to not out myself before I get into this place, but you find nothing wrong with them basically treating me like a token then I think you have your head on backwards.

@commandertabbycat you too.
