TOKYO·1999

Guys, I’m going on holiday! I’m leaving today and won’t be back in two weeks. We dun haf internets in the countryside (????). I think there’s this one bar with wifi in another town which I’ll be using to watch no.6 but that’s all. :( Gonna miss you!

Also my suitcase consists of jeans and like ten t-shirts. And cosplays. I hope I come back with some decent pics of my Doll and Ling Yao costumes. X3

Apparently my supervisor and coworkers were fine with it, but the HR representative, who I never even got to meet, was not.

They first had the person from my staffing agency contact me (instead of speaking to me personally) requesting that I not use the correct bathroom, because I might make people uncomfortable. When I asked him to please find out if there was a unisex bathroom in the building I could use (as I did not want to go to HR/my supervisor myself and make it a big deal) they informed him (and thus he informed me) that there is no unisex bathroom available and that I was no longer a good fit for the company.

When I contested that there was no issue, I would suck it up and use the wrong bathroom, they changed their tune to say that they didn’t interview “Aaron”, they interviewed “(legal name)”, and that I was “obviously” not the person I claimed to be.

What really disgusts me is that at 5:00pm, before I left, my supervisor was telling me how great I was doing, that I seemed like a really great fit and did so well with training, set me up my own desk and computer and told me when I came in tomorrow, I’d be on my own. At 5:40pm it was confirmed that they were not willing to work anything out, my “situation” made me an ill fit for the company, and they had already lined up someone else for my job.

It makes no difference that my skills, experience, and qualifications were the same, regardless of preferred name/pronouns. If I had requested to be called by a preferred traditionally feminine name, like say, a shortened version of my legal name or my middle name, I would still have my job.

For more information, please read the wikipedia article on the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and get involved in helping to fight for its passing.

EDIT to add: There are no laws in the state of florida (or most other states) to protect transgender people from being terminated based on gender identity or expression. It was perfectly legal for them to fire me based solely on my trans* status. I appreciate the mutual anger but no, I cannot sue them. Legally, my hands are tied.

Here’s official cover.

Oooooooooooooooh, pretty! Although except for, like, one track, the music is all over the place. It reminds me of 90s anime a bit UXD But the cover I like <3

• smile until jaw feels like breaking
• make seizure-like body movements
• make random hand gestures
• if alone, scream loudly
• if not alone, scream internally
• if doesn’t care, scream anyway
• run around the house then back
• weep
• weep but don’t let tears fall
• make some ugly noises that are actually supposed to sound happy
• hug something
• claw something
• pull hair
• sigh
• try saying something but turns out incoherent no matter what
• just shake head if unsure of what to exactly do

• Stare at the screen barely breathing for a long, long time.
