          Trans-radical inclusive misogynist doesn’t quite work, unfortunately.

              I don’t think that really works since the entire point is that they’re very much not transphobic. They’re explicitly being accepting of trans identities.

                I think that leaves too much room for sympathy

    Let’s crunch the numbers, would it be financially sensible to pay for m to f transition of Employees, so you can pay them less in the long run?

    I was just thinking today that nothing has been more affirming to the masculine parts of my identity as how much of a little bitch I am when I catch even the slightest of colds.

      I’ve broken just about every bone in each arm and leg. I’ve seen my own blood more times than I can remember and my own bones peaking out my skin twice. Cuts, bruises and minor burns are generally ignored. One day my clumsiness will kill me, because I refuse to learn. At least I will go out proud.

      But a cold will fuck me up every single time. Sometimes for days. And yes, I will whine all the time nonstop.

        I’d rather have a broken bone once if it means I’ll never catch cold again.

        Broken leg for couple of months is preferable to blocked and runny nose.

        Fuck cold.

          When you’re not trying to move the affected bone, it’s easy to forget about a break. With a cold you’re reminded with every breath, every swallow, and every time it makes you sneeze or throw a coughing fit.

          Yep, not a fan!

        Have you considered questioning your gender? Maybe you just aren’t manly enough. If you try hard even you can be a manly little bitch while having a cold /j

        Some people are just outside norms. You definitely have that main character syndrome that most men have though; can’t take something not being about you or describing you perfectly and personally as an individual for a whole five seconds without stomping your feet.

    Reducing the pay and benefits of your best computer programmer/IT person is not a good move, anon.

      Who’s saying it’s their best programmer/IT person? It could very well be their head of HR or legal counsel.

        It’s an in joke and a genuine trend that there’s a large overlap between programmers/IT and trans women.

          I was trying to make a joke that they were such a chad that they’d do this to their legal/HR team.

    Be sure to mansplain things to her, too. Oh, “mansplaining” is when you assume they are ignorant about a topic and start explaining it as if they are clueless.

      And talk over her in meetings, and then suggest her idea as if it was yours.
