Rant 😡💢 Welp, I'm pissed

I work in a group home for disabled clients. At a house meeting a few months ago, my boss said something transphobic so a coworker and I (both trans) walked out of the meeting.

After walking-out, I texted her and politely let her know that it wasn't appropriate, which she was very coy about. Instead of growing as a person and doing better, she talked shit about me to (at least one) coworker, who proceeded to make a fake Facebook account and attack me online.

Because of this, I reported her to admin and HR, who promised they handled the issue. That's whatever, but this coworker is being such a dick that it's making work a very toxic environment.

Then tonight comes around (I work graveyards) and my shift partner called out for the evening for a medical emergency. Boss did not even try to find me relief and when I called her thismorning to ask if I would get any help with the hardest part of my shift, she caught herself in a lie and lied further. She said she didn't think that she could find anyone that late and then said that she couldn't get anyone that late. Multiple coworkers have let me know they were never contacted and that they totally would have helped me.

I'm so done with her bullshit.

Unless there's more than one bigot in the company higher-ups, if they tried to fire you you could sue for discrimination (assuming US). Boss could continue to make life unpleasant for you for awhile, until they slip up and do something else more documentable and reportable.

If multiple admin bigots are covering for each other bigots' misdeeds, you want to find a new place of employment anyway cause you're already on a chopping block list just by being you.

Forcing you to work solo was 100% intentional thorn in your side. And that's juuuust the beginning.

That's what I don't get. Admin is a gay man, and is pro-everything LGBT. My boss is a gay woman. Apparently he talked to her sternly about the transphobia, but didn't touch on the other part - the fact that her talking shit has had negative repercussions in the group home.

My son is trans, and it amazes me how many people in the LGB don't care about/for the T.

Just wanna say this lez cares about trans. Tbh, I would probably identify as pan, but I literally have zero use/interest in straight men. 🤷 I am very fortunate in that my new job is very lgbt friendly and has a zero tolerance policy for any type of harrassment from the top down.
