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 love watching Disney movies when you’re older and come across scenes like this. I laughed for five minutes.

Emma: You know what Gold? I'm really warming up to the idea of you as an in-law.

Emma: You know what Gold? I'm really warming up to the idea of you as an in-law.
Gold: Oh really?
Emma: Yeah. You make a pretty good guard dog and your magic comes in handy a lot but, mostly, you're the only one with deep enough pockets to finance the therapy we're all gonna' need after this.
Gold: And what makes you think that I'll pay for that?
Emma: Well you don't have to. I'm sure you we can all just talk things through like normal adults in a healthy way.
Gold:
Emma:
Gold:So do you want my MasterCard or the Visa?
Emma: Better give me both.
