On a job application: “What is your preferred name and gender, we value diversity, so be honest.”

Me:

I don’t know what this means. I’ve never filled out a form that said that.

they’re asking you to disclose if you’re transgender. legally, they can’t ask or consider someone’s gender in hiring someone, so they get around it by giving you the option of telling them yourself. if you “volunteer” the information, that’s legal.

its like when they try to figure out if you’re poor by asking if you have “reliable transportation,” hoping that ppl will explain that they dont have a car without actually being asked. things like that.

its a scummy thing to do, especially in this case where theyre presenting it like a “diversity” thing.

^^^^ Never answer those questions honestly if you actually want the job.

My managers have personally told people that anyone who puts anything like that outside of just “male or female” gets their application tossed immediately.
Btw if an interviewer asks if you have reliable transportation, don’t say anything but “yes I do” that’s it!!!!! Don’t say another word don’t say you take the bus or walk or bike or get rides or uber don’t say anything!!!!! Just say yes and that is it they cannot require any sort of proof of transportation.

Shit. I didn’t know that about transportation but I'mma start doing it now.

I just took a class where one of the things we had to go over was interviewing to hire.

The entire process was super gross and made me feel scummy and unethical. SO!

Here is an article (that we used in class) that covers 30 Interview Questions Potential Employers are Not Allowed To Ask You (and what they might ask you instead).

Be on the look out for any of these questions.

The patient is a trans person (girl) on the Good Doctor. Ooooh this is gonna be good

Shaun……you need to stop misgendering her. I reallllly hope you learn something in this episode

Edit: Oh! The grandma still thinks it’s a phase! Quinn’s been a girl since the age of 5, and her grandma still calls her “grandson.” The parents seem supporting tho. And now there’s the issue with her testicular cancer thing. Okay okay there’s a whole lot going on in this storyline. It’s interesting

EDIT: She’s more of a purple girl!!!!!!!!

I was gonna make a “remember when captain america punched harley quinn in the face” post before realising that margot robbie and jaime pressly are not actually the same person despite the evidence that they most definitely are

I mean???
