Lmfao I’m about to go the fuck off

Okayy sO I’ve got this fuckin diversity training to do, right, presumably going through different scenarios of “associates” experiencing microaggressions at the hands of their coworkers. First off I’m fucking. It’s. It’s formatted like a goddamn streaming service for [Chain] TV. And this training is like. Supposed to be a goddamn store streaming service original series???? Which like. Whatever lmao I could go off but that’s just the tIP OF THE ICEBERG, it’s got a fucking “rating” cuz again. streaming service. This is a fucking mandated training im—

ANYWAY the rating is PS for Psychologically Safe!! Cuz it’s a ~place for associates to be themselves and take risks and make mistakes~

I said “presumably” in the first paragraph because I haven’t even gotten through the first scenario!! Cuz it’s a non-binary person getting misgendered!! Aka my Literal Actual Entire Workweek!!!!!

*deep fortifying breath*

So like it’s framed as very……..Oh we’re very inclusive, Oh the whole store already knows their pronouns, We all accept them for who they are, Some of us just mess up a bit and nobody corrects us in the moment! Obviously it happens within their hearing, like Literally right in front of them, and there’s like two people misgendering them and I’m like. Mm. ahA. A n y w a y.

Like they make a whole point of them feeling shitty!! The camera cuts to them looking upset and just!! Bdjfjjcjdjcndncbdc sCREAMS I KNOW ALL THISSS IM IN THIS VIDEO AND I DONT LIKE ITTTT

a👏ny👏way👏

Video cuts to the misgendering employee being confronted by a bystander AFTER THE FACTTT AFTER. THE. F A C T. HBEJJFHCHHDJCBDBHCB

okay okay okay I am c a l m

And she apologizes like immediately and both of these (presumably cis) women kinda pat themselves on the back????? For misgendering and letting it happen???????? GOD this sounds so stupid, I might just delete this in five minutes or whenever I finish Actually Getting Through This but hhhhhhhhhh biting chomping violence and maiming

And it’s all so STIFF like I get this is supposed to be ✨instructional✨ or whatever the fuck but like!!! People don’t talk like that!!!!!! And I just!!!!!

I have to fucking LAUGH cuz the other option is screaming and throwing things lmfao

OH WAIT IM CONTINUING LMAO

BITCH GOES “it’s really important that I get this right” IF IT WERE SO IMPORTANT YOUD CATCH YOURSELF IN THE MOMENT LMFAOOOOO

AND IF IT WERE IMPORTANT TO ANYONE ELSE THEYD INTERVENE IN THE MOMENT!!!!!

Ohhhh myyyyyy goddddddddddd now they’re going into how ✨brave✨ she was for bringing it up After The Fact and not saying SHIT in the MOMENT lmfao get out of my FACEEEEEEE

“What advice would you give associates who want to be an ally” LITERALLY SAY SOMETHING WHEN YOU SEE IT!!!!!!!! Someone misgenders your coworker in front of you???? CORRECT THEM RIGHT THEN AND THERE IMMMMMM

IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO BE DIRECT IT CAN BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS GENDERING THEM CORRECTLY!!!!! THE POINT IS NOT THE ✨COURAGE OF THE ALLY✨ HERE, THE POINT SHOULD BE HELPING THE PERSON ACTUALLY FUCKING FEEL LIKE THERES SOMEONE IN THEIR CORNER AT ALL TIMES!!!!! THATS WHAT SAFETY IS!!!!!!! F U C K!!!!!!!!!!!!!
