LGBTQ+ rights in the work force. I think I’m one of the few individuals who don’t prioritize their LGBTQ orientation as my identity into my jobs. I know that people getting fired over their identity is an issue, but it’s something that doesn’t affect me because I don’t parade my identity. I don’t feel it is my job’s business to know it either, I go to work, do the work, they pay me to do the work and that’s the bottom line of our relationship, period.

We don’t need to complicate things because I’m X identity and they need to get into Y politics over it.

    I don’t give a damn what my co-workers think. Company events? LOL! Unnecessary drama and pressure because some lonely ass manager/executive somewhere feels they need to single out people to give the ones who don’t attend over. Bathroom politics are a freaking joke, can’t believe that’s even a thing for people that make a huge issue on where they shit and piss in.

    Again - it’s not a job’s business to know. It’s none of the co-worker’s business to know. You bring it onto yourself when you decide to put a flag of your identity around your workplace or when you drop subtle hints. I don’t do that. I’m not affected by any of this.

      It seems like you don’t care about what people think, conditional on them being somewhat accepting of your choices. For instance, until recently you could easily lose your job because students/parents found out you are gay. Trans people still face this reality in many states, and we are currently much more likely to regress than to progress.

      With regard to the toilet: especially female-to-male trans people face a big issue that they look male (and are hence considered predators in female toilets), but are banned from using male toilets. This may seem like a minor issue if you aren’t affected, but in practice it’s a big deal.
