Can I shoutout all of us trans folks whose already complicated relationships with our bodies and dysphoria is complicated by chronic illness?

To those of us who have to endure dysphoria inducing doctor’s appointments and procedures.

To those of us who don’t have the ability to avoid public and gendered bathrooms, because access to a bathroom is a must.

To those of us taking birth control to treat conditions even though doing so brings us dysphoria.

To those of us who cannot transition because of our disabilities, who cannot take HRT, who cannot have surgeries.

Your gender, your transness, your feelings are valid.

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

This is honest to god one of the funniest things I think I have ever seen. The idea of giving a baby a theme party based on a local personal injury attorney is something i am so jealous of I dont know how to properly put it into words.

Also the fact that the lawyer didn’t come to the party somehow makes it even funnier.

this is the kind of content i came here for

he didnt come to the party because he sees the baby as a future opponent

This Thanksgiving, don’t forget to honor Native American Heritage Month

In making plans to celebrate Thanksgiving, don’t forget: November is also Native American Heritage Month. Observing it won’t undo the atrocities that occurred over the past few centuries — or the current threats to Native Americans and their lands, such as the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline — but recognizing and celebrating those who were here first and are now marginalized is an important step in moving things forward. Especially if you missed Native American Day.
