how is there so much transphobia in the comments section of hrc, this is terrifying as a trans person entering the workforce for the first time. im literally 16, transmasculine, stumbling through my first job as a food lion cashier in the deep south. how the hell are you people filled with so much hate and ignorance for a complete stranger
We are all laughing inside at you because of your mental health issues which does not give you any more rights than the fat lady next to you or the skinny white man over there. This shit needs to be stopped in this country , you were born a man or a woman and if your self esteem is so low that you cannot cope with what you are then go see a shrink. You have no more rights in this country than anybody else just because of simple minded ignorance.
@rahfly250 That is just rude and further proving their point. Trans people should be recognized as their true self, whatever their gender identity is. And that isn't the case worldwide
well my work just told me to dress as a fulltime woman. which isnt possible for me rn or dress as a conservative female. it is so wrong. i never felt so isolated in my life. they didnt want the co workers or clients to be confused. i dont feel i have to explore any individuality or my femininity.
oh my god....are you still alive? i just want you to know that was the bravest post ive ever read and girl you are a survivor psyche you have no real problems in life, your employer has a dress code follow it or quit...acting like you hiding from the nazis in the floorboards and shit...fuck outta here with your first world problem complaining dramatic ass
You are vague in your post. If you are a man dressing as a woman and that have a dress code ...dress according to that code as whatever you dress as. If I am a woman and want to wear a man's suit to work I can as long as I am IAW their dress code. I am not getting what you are saying..
@@mbofficial8577 We do not have to understand what you go through. You should not expect us to ponder this for your change. You knew that you would "go through". We all do with change. We adjust, adapt, and overcome. You should to. We don't expect Everyone to change because we did. We go to new jobs where things change...they don't change everything because of my being new .I have to make the adjustment. Nope, we don't know what you go through on a daily basis just as you do r know what we go through and we don't Expect you to. Just because you are trans does not mean that because we aren't that we don't go through things daily. You aren't any different in that aspect. We all have daily challenges. Just because you have them is not JUST because you are Transgender. Smh. Get over yourself.
People use the 'right' pronouns to be polite not because they believe you are what you say you are. They do it to protect and make it easier for themselves. It's got nothing to do with 'caring' about you.
Wednesdayfornight : So if someone doesn’t agree with someone else’s point of view then they are automatically a fascist? I don’t believe people can change their gender any more than they can their species, and trying to force me or anyone to accept that is in itself a fascist act. People are free to live how they choose and they’re also free to believe what they want, and no one has the right to force their ideas on someone else
Sam, Isn’t being asked your pronouns an inadvertent way of acknowledging your trans. It’s a judgment of your physical appearance. This could be emotionally damaging for young biological women that are developing and just want to be viewed by the world as a beautiful girl. Not to be mistaken for a transvestite.
Trans people make these changes and immediately want Everyone to change. If your dad changed to a woman can you immediately say mom? Should you say mom? Really? You have changed Outside Never in. You transition and you expect everyone to Transition with you. You cannot Make me change. If you were born as my sister You are my sister. In the video one said you should put my trans name on a schedule as you outed me...well out yourself. You want people to change and that is it. You changed you cannot speak for me and what I have to do. You changed and I had nothing to do with it so keep it that way. Don't petition to be on women's sports team if you were BORN a male. Don't bring your issues to everyone else. Yes, I said issues as that is what things like that create. You changed and knew there would be issues ...you Accept that. Your change isn't something that you can or Should Demand for your decisions. They speak that it is your decision and it is just that Yours. You changed so you accept what comes with it. It isn't fair for those around you for you to Demand us to alter our lives and how we speak or to not put your Legal name on a schedule to appease you and your decision. You are Dressed to be another. I'd I dress as Wonder Woman, a fictitious character, I am not. It is a costume. How is a trans any different? We don't have to do anything Unless we want to just like you did. You made the changes accept them and accept if others do not. You deal with it. You think that a father should address his born son as his daughter...not fair. Your dad can never be your MOM he didn't carry you or give birth to you. Your mom can never be your dad .she didn't fertilize your egg. Period. Don't be angry with me if I do not call you sad if you gave birth to me! You cannot Demand anything from people! You changed and knew there would be adversities ..deal with it. We did not change and your change had nothing to do with us...keep it that way. You deal with how we address you. If we want...we will and I'd we don't ..so r be upset. I will live my trans nephew because he IS my nephew, but if I say this is my nephew and you wear makeup, dresses, or women clothes, drive on. You are comfortable don't make me uncomfortable. Why should we be Uncomfortable while you are demanding to be comfortable? Make it make sense.
I’m not trying to offend no one but if you are not biologically born your gender I’m not going to call you would you prefer I have a God and I am proud Christian
my 16 year old cousin is grown a mustache and goatee. She was SO pretty a few years ago. IDK what these drugs the doctors are giving but its probably not good for the brain. Neurological hormones are a delicate balance especially during puberty.
If my boss, or anyone, asks me for my preferred pronouns, I would be very insulted. Do I not look like a man? Why would you ask me that? Do I look trans? Why are you judging me by my looks???
Randy Marsh Someone that looks like they are transitioning, or someone that maybe isn’t “passable.” If a person looks like a biological female, why would I ask her what her pronouns are? You don’t think that might offend a woman?? Especially since women have a close connection between their confidence and their appearance??? Woman will be greatly offended. Funny how you wanna ignore that; the main idea of my comment and focus on things you already know the answer to
Sorry but only 2 of the 4 I take seriously. The guy with the 5 o clock shadow isn't believable. The other guy wearing his wife clothing isn't either. The only 2 I take seriously is the black trans girl and the white trans man with the glasses. You have to look and dress the part if you want the job trans or not.
It doesn't matter if you take them seriously or not. and I believe the "guy" with the 5 o'clock shadow is actually a genderqueer person presenting femininely. They actually present very professionally as well, leading me to believe that they got the job because they "look and dress the part," as you put it. They seem to be very successful, regardless of whether you take them seriously. And the "guy" in "his" wife's clothing is probably doing her best to conform to the norm of womanhood as society views it. She seemed to be dressed very professionally, which is probably why she has a management position as well. She's going to keep living her life regardless of whether ignorant people like you take her seriously.
@@joshmikah4270 Right. They definitely got the job and was exceptional at it. They worked with me. They are now a published author, have worked on an Amazon show and are giving talks across the country. They were very much an asset to our organization when they worked with us and have left a very positive impression of who they are. I consider them a life long friend.

What about the "human rights" of the people you throw in prison for not accepting your delusion?
Sadly we are FAR from trans equality in America. People still see us as... well you kmow the look..

It's really hard for transgender people to find a job in China!
Based China.
Why do people bring their private life into work?
People use the 'right' pronouns to be polite not because they believe you are what you say you are. They do it to protect and make it easier for themselves. It's got nothing to do with 'caring' about you.
That may be true for you, but it's certainly not true for everyone. Some people are actually, ya know, decent human beings.

So do you want your workplace to wipe your ass when you go to toilet as well?????
@hedgemist it sounds you might be offended at the very idea of anyone trying to cater toward your sexual deviance. Maybe re-evaluate your life.
Very helpful for my company thank you.
I hope every workplace can take note of these wise words!!

@Thirbo and because I fill the diversity box I am virtually unsackable. It's good to be a trans woman.
