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.
Enjoy your employment while it lasts, J; I don't think you're going to be there much longer.

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.
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.

I don't know how anyone can reasonably expect to be referred to as gender neutral anyway. Not only is it biologically impossible (there's either a male Y chromosome there or there isn't, in which case you're female), it's just so fucking awkward and linguistically stupid-sounding to refer to a human being as they/them instead of he or she. No matter how hard you rage and tard, sorry, 'educate' your fellow humans about this, they're going to either slip up constantly, or if they have standards, just refuse to play this idiotic game to start with.

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.)

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.

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.

IG story dump from Anna. Pretty boring just her usual histrionics for sponsored crap. The brands she works with are so low end -- JC Penney, Walmart, Dove...wonder if AE will work with her again. She does all the videos sitting down, of course. It just looks sloppy to me when these morbidly obese "influencers" do these vids sitting down. Maybe it's just me.

Regarding Jay: No matter what the circumstances will be, there will be a rage quit on some level. They will likely make up something to cover their embarrassment, though. All the guesses so far are winners! I knew she would encounter someone who would ignore the pronouns because there is always at least one person who is going to do that. I wonder when coworkers are going to see Jay's subtweets and start shunning her.
Jay wouldn't do this justice.

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.

J should be thankful she still gets perceived as a human being and not the ball of fat and nothingness she is, nevermind being "correctly" gendered.
I'm still baffled by the fact that companies pay Anna for ads. The only way she could influence me to do something is to go on a diet and hit the gym as much as I can.

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.
This would put their employer in the position of having to choose between an oppressed black woman refusing to violate her religious beliefs, and an "oppressed" transfat who insists that everyone else subscribe to her quasi-religious (because they are based solely on faith) beliefs about gender.
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.
But what if the offender is in an historically more oppressed group than the genderspecial fatty? Does being fat and genderspecial, but white, manage to give you more oppression points than being a straight black woman? As a white person, how many categories of oppression do you have to fall into in order to trump blackness? What if that straight black lady is also fat?
So if J has been reluctant to take the issue to HR, I'd bet the person who is "misgendering" her is someone who is not an easy target for calling out.

Didn't J have this super special "pronoun anti-misgendering" cards?
I am sure she has a box full of them lying around somewhere. Or maybe fuck the cards, just wear something like this:
But oh-the-horror, sizing stops at 2XL. Fatphobic!!!!

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?

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.

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...

This shit defies logic, anyway. Like unicorns, it is derived out of a phantasyland, where no-one but the genderspecial person is allowed to have their feelings hurt. Disobedience or amusement will be punished.

Anna desperately trying to get a bath and body works sponsored video. I've said this a million times but she is SO BASIC. My God you couldn't write a more stereotypical white moron girl from Ohio trying to be middle brow.
And hey how about a little casual class-ism and racism thrown in!
sorry Anna we can't all have rich connected dads to bail us out! And your high school drop out GED ass would totally be scrubbing floors if it wasn't for him.

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.
Fuck you too, Jay. Did you run out of your little cards in your first week of gender training all of your new coworkers and then find them all in the trash during a break?
