Sigh, dude in my office slack. Yes, yes we have sexual harassment issues in this office. Even though you don't think so.
@odinsdream I'm sure it existed in my last workplace, but I was isolated from a lot of that because I wasn't a pretty "girl" and after transition I wasn't "really a man." It was weird.
@afabulous yeah i hear that. it's just such a pattern;
work: sends out "hey sexual assault is a thing"
man: "ok so i hear you talking about sexual assault and im An Ally but surely this isn't a problem HERE cause I haven't heard about it"
women: *all leave the chat*
@odinsdream 1. men should trust women when they say a thing happens;
2. women (rightly) don't trust men to believe them;
3. harassment is thus often invisible to men. The blame for this is square on men but this is how I see the process. Women absolutely broke their personal connections to me post-transition. I hate it but understand it.
@afabulous yep, totally agreed on this.
@odinsdream I hope you reported him to HR. That shit would be inappropriate even if he was talking with another masculine man.
@starbreaker hahahaha yeaaaaa no. i'm not gonna start my day 1 with a sexual harassment complaint wtf are you thinking
@odinsdream Sorry, I was in my happy place again.
@odinsdream uuuuuugh the office is not a damn meat market dude.
Like my first day my coworker was telling me how many of the women in the office he'd like to "date".
