gender stuff 

I really really wish I didn't have to dress like a Guy just to get and maintain a job and every time I try and break out of that I end up getting made fun of by customers

Even though I already prefer to dress more androgynously anyway because I really really do not want to be seen by (cis men especially) as the "man in a dress"

@faygraves oh gods, same. I hate my professional look, my professional voice, and it fills me with a Ton of impostor feelings.

Besides, I look better in a Skirt or Kilt anyways. Getting asked by the owner in a passive-aggressive way to wear Pants when a customer is coming in really fucking Hurt.

@Motodrachen I got shit on by my bosses and customers at two different 7-Elevens this year and the one before for growing my hair out and painting my nails from time to time, and still kinda get stares from customers at my current mall clothing job and it's upsetting
