How can I have Nugget’s job?

I’m honestly mad I could identify the artist from the thumbnail alone.

Oops that’s my bad. Sorry for the assumption!

I’m transmasc, but I came out as enby at my previous job (a call center). This involved a new name and they/them pronouns. I felt safe doing it after conversations with the department head about trans stuff. I’d definitely try to get a vibe on the general company culture towards trans people before coming out. I’d also definitely try to get a pulse on how supportive your boss will be if there are any issues, especially if you’re in a customer facing role.

Pros: all of my coworkers were chill with it, or if they had problems with it they kept it outside of work. I did have to spend a while correcting people on my name/pronouns, but that just comes with the territory. I think it took about two weeks to a month for the name/pronouns situation to settle.

Cons: The job I worked was the type where we had “frequent flyer” customers we’d support. No one was directly transphobic to my face. But a few of these customers would ask to speak to Deadname instead of my actual name… months after the switch. They never did this to my face. They always somehow managed to remember my name when talking to me. But when they got any of my coworkers on the line, they magically only remembered my deadname. The co-workers on my team were fantastic about forcing the customers to actually use my name. I talked to my boss about this, but unfortunately there really wasn’t much we could do besides correcting them. The last incident of this was about six months after the name change. Not a problem I have anymore because I got laid off in the tech layoffs lmao.

They have at least one community named after a trans slur which is not great. Unfortunately I was on mlem when I saw it so I couldn’t report it.

Yeah for instance bottom surgery discussions usually get tagged NSFW in a lot of places because that’s inherent to the subject matter.

Also Trans Lifeline (ie. the hotline itself) would be good to include.

There’s now !ftm@blahaj.zone :)

This week has been A Lot since I’m putting on my last family performance in girl mode helping prep for my sister’s wedding. Which would already be a lot without the gender shit lmao. But I’m seeing Spiderverse again this weekend so it balances out :)

I wanted to make an infographic for my graphic design portfolio about Blahaj, so I wanted to find some sort of statistics to use? Not really sure what I thought I would find. Maybe how many are sold in a year or something?? Never did make that infographic lol

Weirdly I found Lemmy (as in this instance) through the Blahaj.zone Clackey… which I found by googling “Blahaj statistics”. I haven’t interacted with the main Lemmy instance. Enjoying the vibes here :)

I literally just made one- c/ftm
