[quotelr]

We are all born artists. The nature generally doesn’t discriminate among newborns with respect to art. Yet most of us try very hard as we grow, without knowing, to stop being artists.

Back to the job trail again! Thailand in 2020 and how I survive the discrimination?

So I took it long a while to stick with one place in 2020 after going back working from the south of my country (Thailand) where the hotel business used to be blooming in the past. I didn’t graduate with hotel tourism degree but I found it much likely to suit for my skills and personality. I remembered how I use to post a blog somewhere or in here about job applying past few years ago and now I’m back to this way again to just to find a happy and comfortable place to work and grown in my career.

Thailand is absolutely remembered by people the rest of the world to be a place that is very friendly for LGBTIQ community because there are lots of people like us here and living normally in the cities and towns. Sadly the reality is very different but takes long time to get better and more accepting for LGBT community and surprisingly not much the same of each community will gain more respect or acceptance in the sam level per year, compared to gay community, lesbian community, bi and pan sexual. Transgender community here is in the down low list after Queen or intersex and other gender like fluid gender or others.

Why? because in my opinion , if you were a gay person or lesbian, still some of you didn’t go change much in appearance, some just remains like the birth gender like gay man who dresses normally like a man or a lesbian who properly dresses like a normal woman. Unlike transgender people or other genders that got themselves into transitioning or changing or blending the gender as they express their identity and personality (very much complicated)

The point of how transgender people in general or who is like us like this will have a high chance to get rejected in some way when it comes to job application (unless you are super skilled and talented and unique so they will want you because your skills is high wanted as the physical isn’t the big issue to pay attention for HR or CEO or people who is involved in employee seeking). But it gets better nowadays in some country I understand. But if you count how many country that has rule to stop gender discrimination, it’s still in very few in the list. Of course, my country has some ACTS about it to protect us from discrimination but not much likely to be applied on every company as some do it low key to reject a job candidate. I was one of them who got rejected with one big organization in education in our country. Got me came and joined all interviews more than 3 times for example and asked me if I just dress like a man, cut my hair and only use the disability bathroom only etc. 

With other issue like the beginning of our name on ID card that got me no chance to change from MR to MS because actually it’s the big part I cannot apply for a job with specifically request like Female ONLY or some other thing etc. I can apply but you know that appears on my Identity Document is MR XXXX XXXXXX and that’s a struggle. 

Nowadays, lots of LGBTIQ movement here is still going but a little bit distracted by democratic protest FREE YOUTH in my country to give the pressure of the military government to leave the position and choose who people choose. So now in 2020, lots of democratic mobs are everywhere (Haha I joined them to because I really cannot stand the horrible team of government now). So now the Equality Marriage and Trans changing the title name act is now on the pause. Well I’m living in the time where we all new generation keeps on fighting for our future, LGBT is getting more accepting but still fighting and Trump or Kim Jung En whatever but back to my job trailing in 2020.

Still very challanging  to get a job in 2020 and pandemic but still keep trying, the world in 2020 in my country is way more open but now it’s condition for other genders and isn’t from Binary like male and female, is like that when you’re LGBTIQ, you have to have more talents to break the discriminating walls with other people, it’s not fair but that how we got accepted and respect and get a job. But I hope in future the society start to give us more opportunities for starting a career to live for our life and survive, beyond the discrimination, hatred and binary.

I just got to another interview today in my town after 2 months and 1 month serious on tour for interview, switching between Bangkok and outside the city. I think if any place will want me to work, they just got to accept my identity obviously. And I just think that never mind to get rejected by some place because that’s how we show their concept of their organization. I didn’t want to work in a toxic place with hatred either. So if they don’t want me, it’s okay’ If they want me, be appreciated and do my best and happy.

I just felt like I need to write this, so please don’t be offended for using this space to vent out as I would like to encourage other girls around here , I know we all have different struggles and problems but I will tell you this world isn’t fair but we can choose to be happy with our one life as possible, much or less. Keep on trying, I’m sure I will worth someway as I believe it too , I’m always trying :)

No es -solo- racismo

No se trata solo de racismo.

Se trata de comprender que en el mundo hay diversidad, de todo. Nadie debe juzgar a nadie por como elige vivir su vida. No se trata de su preferencia sexual, la ropa que elige ponerse, su religión, la música que escucha, su peso corporal, el estilo de su pelo, si decide tener tatuajes o piercings, incluso por su puesto de trabajo… Juzgar por ese tipo de cosas - es también discriminar -

Para mi, discriminar a una persona por su color de piel o su país de procedencia es algo muy feo, por no decir otra cosa… No hay nada más bonito que un grupo de personas diversas, que puedan hablar de cualquier tema y expresar cada uno su opinión sin llegar a discusiones.

No puedo decir que entiendo lo que ha sufrido una persona de raza oscura porque nunca me ha tocado vivir ese tipo de situaciones, pero si entiendo lo que se siente ser discriminado por cualquier otro tipo de cosas, como ser latina por ejemplo.

Aquí en España no es un misterio que hay un “hate” con los latinos, OJO no todos los españoles son así (podría que decir que es la minoría), pero todavía hay personas que no confían en los Venezolanos o que para ellos los Dominicanos son delincuentes…

Como sabrán, yo soy latina y la frase más escuchada desde que llegué a España es “ay, pero si no lo pareces” como si fuera algo malo…. lo más interesante de todo es que esa frase me la han dicho también personas de nacionalidad dominicana a las que he tenido que decirle “sí mi pana, me encanta el chicharrón de la José Contreras, la “bandera” es: arroz, habichuelas y carne, una “vestida de novia” es una cerveza bien fría y el mangú se come con cebollitas por encima…” y a veces ni así me creen.  

Es cierto que nací en Cuba (un país latino también), aunque las personas asocian más el que yo sea “blanquita y nariz fina” si soy de Cuba que de República Dominicana. Para mi, es lo mismo, soy latina, soy Cubana y soy Dominicana… y cuando ponen una de flamenco pues tío, Ezzpañola también. Gracias a la vida y a mi familia tengo una mezcla muy linda de culturas y sorry al que le moleste, pero eso no se determina por el lugar de nacimiento.

Porque cuando visito un lugar Cubano me siento de Cuba, cuando me reúno con dominicanos, yo soy Dominicana y cuando me pierdo por Madrid soy Española, Y ME ENCANTA.

Por otro lado, hablando de donde crecí: República Dominicana, querida isla hermosa, solo quiero decirle a tu gente que: el chofer no es menos persona que tú, la que limpia en tu casa es una joya, trabajar de mesero no es denigrante, que ella sirva copas en un bar no la hace “una loca” y tampoco puedes llamarle puta por acostarse con quien le de la gana. Me avergüenza decir que alguna vez tuve algún pensamiento como ese -estúpido, machista y clasista-. Ya va siendo hora de dejar a un lado los prejuicios y educar con valores, pero valores de verdad.

Solo me queda decir: luce tu pelo como quieras, vístete como te apetezca y se TÚ, porque no hay nadie que pueda quitarte eso. No tengas menos aspiraciones y no dejes que tu apariencia exterior te limite. Predica con la -igualdad- y valora a las personas diferentes que te rodean.

i just want to say how grateful I am for this blog, the bsd fandom is so toxic to anyone who doesn't agree with the popular ships and headcanons and it's nice that there's a place to come rant or share hc's without being attacked

We got you buddy! In the words of Supernatural, "Well, somebody ought to!"

Really though, it's people like you we're doing this for. Just normal people trying to have fun in the fandom but constantly being confronted with the fact their ship/hc is very much looked down upon.

Let me just remind you that

Having hetero ships doesn't make you homophopic

Having age-gap ships doesn't make you a p//edo or a p//edo supporter

Having "unhealthy" ships does not make you abusive

Having unpopular headcanons does not make you any less valid

Despite what a lot of people, including that one "positivity" blog may say, fiction is not real and you're allowed to enjoy what you want

And lastly

Regardless of your ships and hcs, you deserve normal humanly amount of respect, you're amazing and you deserve to be loved
