Whoever this co-worker is, I salute them. Bravo, co-worker, bravo! Oh, and my vote is for Jay rage-quitting.

This wouldn't happen at a bleeding-heart nonprofit, so I'm stacking more of my chips on the "call center" square. That she has to talk to co-workers enough to get "misgendered" would mean she's still in training, in a probationary period, and subject to being culled at any time for being too slow to learn, not being able to do the job, and not getting along with other trainees or regular staff.
Get over yourself Jay. So what, some random coworker "misgendered" you, that's life. They/them pronouns are hard to remember. I'm sure this person just wants to go to work, earn their money and then go home. There is freedom in knowing that the world does not revolve around you. (Despite how large you are.)
I would love to see video of this (I know it probably doesn't exist). I imagine this giant hairy man in a dress, five o'clock shadow in progress under ugly makeup, losing his wig as he is throwing desks and papers around, then dramatically donning his Jackie O sunglasses and LV knockoff bag before sauntering out of the building forever.If Jay IS working at a call centre btw, she will have to deal with customers 'misgendering' her on a regular basis, never mind co-workers. People will hear a female voice down the phone and call her anything from 'M'am to 'Miss' or whatever. High jinks will doubtless ensue. You can't sue a customer for responding normally to reality, good luck with that Jay.
PL:
Relative told me of an 'incident' with the telesales part of his company a year or two ago: company employed a late-in-life transwoman of the '6' 4" truck driver in a dress' variety - someone nobody would ever recognise as female in 1000 years. Big gruff voice typical of middle aged male who'd smoked years too. Dude ended up flipping tables, throwing things and rage-quitting when some poor bastard he'd phoned to shill the company's service's made the grand error of calling him 'sir' one day.
In my dream scenario, the person misgendering her is a Christian black lady who doesn't give anybody's genderfucky pronouns the time of day because it says right there in the Bible that God created Man and Woman, not...whatever the fuck J fancies she is.I feel like these fats are always stretching the truth majorly when they make tweets like the one J made. One person at the new job probably slipped up and meant no harm and J acts like the coworker was intentionally doing it. People aren't perfect.
I think J posted this story primarily as a bid for sympathetic attention, rather than out of any need for advice. Because genderspecials all know what to do--complain to HR about it so the offender can be dealt with.Just go up to the person and talk to them! You don't need some special tips and tricks! Seems like a bullshit story tho. Especially since they're most likely working some retail-like position, most people wouldn't be willing to risk their jobs by misgendering this angry genderless blob.
You stop being a little bitch and accept the fact you are a fucking WOMAN (albeit an ugly fat one), but point still stands.

Jay got triggered again.
Don’t you dare call her unhealthy though! Weight has nothing to do with health.Jay with her HS education and call center gig surely knows more than trained doctors! Sure, don't weigh her next time doc give her a terminal dose of whatever geriatric cardiovascular meds her fatass needs in her mid 20s.
I'm still terribly confused about the pronoun situation. Doesn't a pronoun require the person not to be in the conversation it's used in?

What do you call a genderspecial when addressing them formally if you can't use "sir" or "ma'am"? There are no correlating honorifics or salutations, afaik. Should we just stop using Sir/ma'am and Mr./Ms./Mrs? if no one is inventing new gender neutral forms of address, we could just start calling every stranger "hey you" or leave off sir/ma'am, and just refer to everyone by their surnames. But no one wants to sound exceptional and insult the majority of strangers they encounter, so fuck that.Perhaps J is using that as shorthand for all the times someone has said 'ma'am' to they...
Tommy Tooter provides a masterclass in enraged conversation derailment when he's addressed as 'sir'. He loves to school call centre workers, just imagine the crossover magic if he and J misgendered each other.
It just occurred to me to wonder how any of these people fighting the daily indignation of being accidentally correctly identified would cope with a language in which every single thing has an assigned sex...
