LMAO whenever there is evidence that they don't pass they always go to the "people have been genuinely surprised when I tell them I'm trans!"
No shit, people fake that too. Or they're surprised that you thought it was a secret.
First comment "Is there a possibility they're trans themself, clocked you (we tend to clock each other easier), and was trying to carefully connect with you?"
OP replies "I don’t think so."
Gosh, it's almost like you can tell when someone's trans or not.
Then a bunch of pooners giving the very manly suggestion to complain to the manager. Also the random retail manager etc is not going to be that sensitive and attuned to tranny shit. Asking someone if Oliver is their real name is not a grave offense outside of tranny Twitter.
Pooner: “EXCUSE ME SIR, I’d like to make a report!”
Manager: “ (Sigh) What kind of report?”
Pooner: “Tra- eh.. Well… I was made UNCOMFORTABLE!!”
Manager: “In what way?”
Pooner: (Thinking hard about how to remain ‘stealth’ and the most masc way to complain about about feels.) “Well… Ehmm… The other day I was asked mhmm… About how I chose my eh… name?”
Manager: “Someone asked about how you got your name, did I get that right mis-…Oliver?”
Pooner: “YES!”
Manager: “I don’t quite understand, what’s the issue?”
Pooner: (Starting to feel the cold, clammy sweat of an approaching panic attack) “Well… I am eh, no problem… bu…”
Manager: “I’m sorry could you speak up?”
Pooner: “Eh… I SAID… I’m fine and all but if there’s a… I try to be a good ally… (STRESS SIGH) If there’s ever a trans employee, you know if one gets hired here, they may… It’s just a strange question! Someone may feel… ITS WEIRD!”
Manager: “I… See… Well, I’ll try and eh… Address it?”
Pooner: “I’m verybusyok thankyoufornyourtime!” (Speedwalks out to compose herself, tears starting to build behind the big, round pooner eyes.)
LATER THAT DAY ON REDDIT:
“I STOOD UP FOR MYSELF TODAY AT WORK AND IT FEELS HELLA EUPHORIC!”
