Rent paid for this month but the struggle continues
tldr: I'm a trans Latina living in South Texas. My hours are cut down below what I need to survive. I don't know if I can get more hours. I'm trans and scared of trying to find another job. Even with another job I'm probably going to need help with next month's rent.
Donation links in notes and reblogs.
So my hours have been slowly been cut down over the past few months. I assumed, hoped, that my hours would go back up but they haven't. I could afford HRT a couple of months ago and had to stop. I've been eating through my savings and this last month I had to ask for donations to make rent which I did just barely.
I'm stressing out so much right now because I can't just hope my hours are going to go back up. I have to talk to one of the managers about uping my hours. My non-confrontational ass is scared out of her mind. I don't think I'll be fired for asking for more hours but if I don't get them I have to find a second or new job.
I've stayed at this job (for 12 years) because the managers (2/3) have been here as long as I have and been accepting of me as a trans woman. I don't know if I can find work as an out trans woman in South Texas. I never got my name legally changed (I'm a screw up I know) so I will have to out myself every time I apply to a job. I transitioned at my current job. My managers and co-workers had a chance to get to know me before I came out to them. I don't think outing myself on the application or first interview is going to go as well.
