Pain in the ass leave

But our trans siblings don’t get special treatment, no no no no no, quite the contrary, they’re tormented and tortured and deprived at every turn.

TWENTY paid days off PER YEAR for jendoo affoomashun. That is quite the fringe benefit. A whole fucking month to go shopping for frillies.

Oh I get it. It’s a break for everyone else. “Thank you baby Jesus, we get a month free of them interrupting us to talk about their gender every five minutes.”

    This. So much this. They don’t want to just be left alone to live their lives, or to pee. They want to be noticed. They want to be special. They want to be at the center of everything, as if the universe was created just for them.

    It’s no wonder the numbers of specialized, personalized genders increases so rapidly. It’s a great narcissistic scheme.

    And yet you only get two days off a year for attending grandmother’s funerals…

    And if she happens to die only a couple of months before mother, you won’t get anything for mother.

    Also, immediate family only. Yet a lot of people are quite close to people who are not immediate family – aunts, uncles, cousins, etc…and some of us were quite close to our in-laws and feel like they should be included. Why should a boss be able to tell you who is important enough to care about?

    Would one earn extra days by claiming the deceased relative was trans because the loss of one of the most precious of all people deserves an extended period of mourning?

    AoS, I suppose if you threatened to call it transphobia…no one seems to be willing to be branded with that meaningless label.

    Everyone’s got a gender identity though, right? Doesn’t that mean that every single employee has the right to take time off to “affirm their gender”, no matter what their gender is in relation to their sex? What if Rachel from accounts has been feeling a bit frumpy and un-feminine lately, and needs a couple of days to get her hair and nails done, buy some nice frocks and go for some girly lunches with her mates?

    Oh, I see.
