I want to boost everything this person has said and add on.

The reason I call myself a tomboy now, despite it being seen as a childish word and having had someone swear at me over it because ‘tHeRe’S nO suCh thInG as BoY thInGs anD giRL thIngS sHut uP’ is because I couldn’t call myself that or be like that when I was a kid. It was seen as a negative thing and I was already bullied enough. “Looking like a boy” was the worst thing that could happen to a girl.

And I’m not even 26 yet. We aren’t talking 30+ years ago, we are talking 2000s and even 2010s. It’s only since trans people have become more accepted in the past few years that gender nonconformity has too.

And the people who helped me accept my gender nonconformity more than anyone else? Were trans people. They taught me, “there’s nothing wrong with how you feel. You’re still a valid woman no matter what you wear, how you have your hair or what you’re into ❤️”

And don’t even get me started on how people treat gender nonconforming men. JK Rowling has a lot of nerve to be like “uwu boys can wear dresses and only us gendercrits accept that!” when she has, even in recent works, made femininity in men a negative trait, as well as making masculinity in women a negative trait also.

A lot of people still don’t accept gnc people even now. Just last year I had someone tell me they’d never let their daughter “dress like a boy”, and I’m always terrified to walk into a bathroom in case the next JK Rowling is in there, sees my gender expression and pepper sprays me or worse.

1) Figured this out.

“The family name ‘Murasame’ was given to me by my master. The given name ‘Tatsumasa’ is a combination of ‘dragon’ (tatsu), the [zodiac] year when I was born, and one character from my master’s name,” says Murasame."

As an example, a lot of groups claim to be “pro-women”, when in reality they are actually anti-trans. Their goal is not to uplift women, it’s to harass and criminalize trans people.

This is a spot from an italian estate agency (we are governed by the right-wing party)

The woman says "Ridiculous..."

The old lady is not in her home. She is at work. She's meant to be what in Italian is called "la portinaia", aka a cross between a doorwoman and cleaner of a residential building. She's in her small "office" space, at the entrance of the building, from where she can survey the coming and goings of the inhabitants. It's a job that has mostly disappeared, but is culturally very clear to us as having the connotation of "potentially gossipy, one-million-percent judgmental woman who sees everything that goes on in the apartment complex, knows everyone and their secrets, and has Strong Opinions™️".

a dutch employer must also:

refrain from asking medical details. all they have a right to know is that you cannot work, the aspects of work that you cannot perform, and whether you're making efforts to recover

provide open consultations with a doctor specialised in occupational health

(partially) cover the costs of treatments that'll help you get back to work quicker and more sustainably

make efforts to prevent illnesses due to work (including burn-out and repetitive strain injuries)

provide temporary or permanent alternative working conditions (e.g., fewer hours, different tasks, ergonomic tools) if it's impossible or hazardous to the employee's health to (fully) return to their regular work and working conditions

provide assistance in finding an alternative employer if no suitable alternative work can be found within the organisation

the exact details can differ based on union agreements, the size of the organisation, specific contracts, and what have you. but this is the baseline for contractual permanent positions by law.

partially sharing because i have a lot of dutch followers this may sooner or later apply to, and partially to show the true extent of what's possible.

Forcing you to attend consultations with a company doctor, pushing you to travel to attend your consultations.

Trying to get information about your illness from the company doctor (= illegal!).

Interpreting company doctor reports about your capabilities in bad faith, trying to force you to do more work than you can, etc.

Guilt-tripping you if you don't recover fast enough.

Trying to blame your 'lifestyle'.
