- If i come out as trans at this job, theyre absolutely going to not support me and probably fire my ass. So thats fun.
- Its very horrifying to have someone threaten your job when youre trans and everyone hates everything about you.
- Ive lost every job ive ever come out at, as a direct result of coming out as trans.
- I was terminated after my first pay check from the job. I think this is really the end of the road. I dont think the company liked my political views or anything my coworkers and managers loved me. Hr wanted me gone. I hate being transgender.
- I wish i could be myself at my job. If any of my coworkers found out i was trans i would most likely be on the news. I hate it here in this stupid state. I need a new job.

- Why is the job hunt so difficult for you they ask. Meanwhile at the only job i had that didnt misgender me at all times, cis people cut my funding personally. Heart emoji.
- Applying for jobs only to find out that people making the decision if i get a job is a former cop and a trump supporter, and its like how the fuck do you end up in homeless services.
- Im honestly glad youre not going to jail or losing your job for your opinions. Standing up to them is a good thing. But what about people who arent white, cis men? can you honestly say that they should take the same kind of risk, knowing that they will face more serious consequences than you?
- Im so scared of losing my job in this economy being trans, im returning full time while still in a compromised medical state recovering from a liver transplant.
- Im honestly considering pretending to be male on my job applications because that will probably get me interviews.

- My last job was awful with people and all my coworkers were a bunch of straight cis men that thought it was okay to throw around slurs and do peelon husk salutes at the podium in the conference room.
- After i transitioned - i had been extremely good at my job till then - all my clients straight cis men all stopped wanting to work with me - the female manager who had supported me left was replaced by a man who decided to micro manage me, keep me away from clients, generally fucked my career.
- I once posted would you give a trans woman a job and a dem poster quoted my post just to say only if she earned it!

- Trans people -- if you know anyone with a good job who loves you and doesnt want you to fucking die? ask them for help. Ask for the money. Ask for the help. And then get the fuck out while we still can.
- Youre good. It is what it is. I agree with the community. I luckily have amazing people from my job and can hide behind what i do. Like i know i wont get fired for my opinions or being trans.
- And also and this is huge. If you hear of a job for a trans person and you can help them get hired. Help them.
- To my trans friends- your job today is to find joy. To my allies- your job today is to make sure your trans friends can find joy.
- If you are a cis person with a good job and you want trans people to live -- help a trans person flee. Give them money for a ticket. Give them money to find housing in their new home.
