Fuck jobs that judge you based on appearance. Fuck having to hide my gender identity to find a job. Fuck employers that have to consider my gender identity for whether or not I'd fit the position rather than my skill and ability. I feel so fucking pissed off to have to pretend to put on some bullshit facade in order to work somewhere that I probably don't even want to work anyway. I know a part of why I'm feeling this is the privilege I've had as a middle class person not having to have a job and now transitioning into a point in my life where I might have to just suck it up and work something shitty to get by. But what pisses me off more is that it's so much harder to get a job as a trans person without having to mask your gender, which anyone who is born with a gender that they still identify as doesn't have to even fucking think twice about. I get an email about coming to an interview that says to come dressed up formally. Formally? I don't even know what that fucking means for me anymore in a work situation. Do I dress in a really nice dress and have them potentially flip their shit about my gender? Do I dress in a gender presentation that is not actually how I identify and then have to go through the shit of coming out to them later? Either way it's fucking stressful and I hate having to deal with it. I am fucking skilled and know a lot of my shit with audio and I'm fucking tired of having to worry about people putting so much more focus on my gender just because mine is different. Fuck working for close-minded shitbags. I just want to start taking shits on the doorsteps of anyone who brings up my appearance in an interview.
