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.

Wow, Target just keeps getting better.

And as a person who goes to Target like five times a week for dinner, I am so glad I will never have to wait in line behind any of those assholes in the facebook comments.

I’m not sure :< She’s not awake right now, it’s only like 10am her time and she usually isn’t up ‘til noon PST. However after I took a few hour nap last night/this morning, she seemed to be doing a little better. She had taken some medicine that she said “knocked her on her ass” — so here’s hoping that she’s feeling better! o.o/!

On the topic of lunch though…  I still want a pickle but I haven’t even touched this sub yet. :F 

YEAH WELL I AM STILL SITTING HERE HUNGRY. 

<_< >_> The food in the picture has been gone for an hour now

Chicken fingers in buffalo sauce, and Cajun sweet potato fries

o__o The whole buffalo chicken strip thing threw me off like woah. Those didn’t look like chicken strips at first, dude.

Yeah they kind of drown them in buffalo. It’s good though.

As long as they were good. I went to some place called Smash Burger last night and was extremely underwhelmed and rather disappointed. 

We have Smash Burger here, and yeah, way overpriced for pretty meh food. The fries were pretty good, but that’s about it. 

I regretted my decision to not just go to Five Guys for a decent burger and good fries. Like.. I ended up with a stomach ache and heartburn. Definitely not worth the 9 bucks I paid. The fries were kinds good. Good and salty, but not something to rag home about.

Oh man Five Guys is so good. I haven’t been there in a while and I should go there for dinner sometime this week.

This is making me want buffalo chicken something. I guess I could cave and go to Cheesecake Factory. They have good lunches. :>

And here I am with a Publix deli sub. I love Five Guys, but omg I feel like such a blimp after I’m done eating there. x_x AMAZING food, but I feel guilty later.

Randomly, you know what sounds amazing right now? Pickles.

:< I like pickles. I’m also glad to hear you’re feeling better. Is Seirye doing okay too? She wasn’t feeling so good last night.

I’ll probably get Publix for lunch tomorrow or thursday; usually it’s an order of their popcorn chicken and the raspberry iced tea. Pickles would be pretty good with that.
