#no tattoos. no large jewelry. no distracting earrings#no long nails. black clothing is still the default color. no unnatural hair color#while some of it is in the realm of what people wear professionally across the board (which I respect)#the interpreting community has done very little as a whole to dismantle the system it was built by and modeled after#making it harder for minorities to find success#due to agencies struggling to break away from this system#sign language interpreting#interpreting community#asl interpreting#not whump#marz actually talks
