My workplace is hiring and today we had a great applicant. Then she handed me her resume and she goes by a male name and he/him pronouns. If we were to employ her it would be on the condition that she would likely be “misgendered” because I refuse to use wrong sex or “they” pronouns. I don’t think it’s fair on her to ask her to make that concession. Or fair on our customers.
The other option, and most likely outcome, is we don’t employ her.
I wonder if trans activists realise that they don’t get opportunities because they compel others speech and behaviour. Not because they are “trans.” Their demands impact everyone around them. Nobody wants to walk on eggshells at work.
Such a shame because I liked her and she’s otherwise the best candidate so far.
