norsegays: astrolope: People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook. I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story. A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right? It is a big deal because i’m a transman.  It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview. Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews. At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple. At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person. TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.

A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?

It is a big deal because i’m a transman. 

It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.

Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.

At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter.

My high school had it’s prom last night and it brought back the memories of two years ago. The excitement of being at the end of the school year, knowing where you’re going to college, everything about to change. It’s one of those things you look forward to for like ever. It’s high school prom. It’s one of those things that you’ll actually remember when you look back. I’m so thankful to have had one of the best experiences. Looking back at the pictures, I felt and looked good, went with my best friends and the best date that I could have, and truly did have like the best of both worlds. 

I recently said that I missed being a senior in high school. Not like I miss the things that happened or the age, but like the feelings associated. I recruit with at high schools with the Oregon Marching Band all the time and do recruiting on college visit weekends, so I get to talk to so many bright-eyed excited senior faces. It makes me miss the time when everything was new, everything was exciting, and the good kind of scary.

As much as people love getting past the “stupid high school drama,” a part of me misses the stupid things we used to get worked up about. Like when I asked my date to prom and I was so scared, but it ended up being like the best decision or how everyone in band knew everyone else’s business or how we all cried after graduation and acted like it was the end of the world. I miss it. I miss how dramatic and innocent we were. 

I like where my life is now… it’s just that, there’s only one senior year, one prom, one time going off to college… 

That’s the one thing I always tell seniors. They always tell me that they can’t wait to be in college and get out, and I just tell them to enjoy it. It will be over before you know it. And you won’t know if until you’re gone.
