I need advice. My coworker and i just figured out he’s paid $.50 less than me. We were hired same week, for the same job and work the same hours. Only he asked for $10 and got $10 and i asked for 11 and got $10.50. Not discrimination (both white guys) just he asked for to ligtle No union. What should he do?

themintyqueer reblogged your post:The trouble with homemade baked beans, is that...

Only problem now is having to designate your entire freezer Bean-Zone

One day I will have a chest freezer, and then i will no longer have these problems.

I kinda need advice. I've been stealth at work for around 11 months now, ever since i got the job, only 3 people know (my best work friend and my two managers who hjred me) i just found out a few people have asked on of my other friends if i'm a guy or not. I'm debating coming out as trans, it's a relatively progressive company, i wont be fired (my managers know) but idk about the social backlash. Being stealth has had a harder told on my mental health than i anticipated, but 1/2

but idk if being out will help that or not. My friendgroup sees me as a man and i don’t want them knowing i’m trans to slip them up with pronouns (that happened at my last job) or out my to customers. Idk? I just don’t know what to do and no one in my life is trans/knows what i’m going through.

So. I got out my laptop for this one because yours truly is a complex situation. First and foremost I want you to know that you are not alone in this struggle. As a community I don’t think we talk about how complicated your life is even after you transition (whatever that may include for each individual). Who do you tell? Who don’t you tell? When do I tell someone? How long is too long to wait to disclose this fact to?

My best advice is this: Imagine a bull’s eye target. At the center of the target are the people closest to you that know everything about you. Ex: your parents, siblings, closest best friends, your long term sexual partners. 

The outside ring is people you intermittently interact with like the Barista at Starbucks or the cashier who rings up your groceries. Obviously its not their business.

Everyone else in your life will fall somewhere in between there. Consider your relationship with each individual and weigh the pros and cons of disclosing your trans status. Does it benefit you? Do you feel that telling this person may change your relationship negatively? Have you been feeling unable to talk about your past or personal life to detriment of your mental health?

I highly suggest coming out to each person privately rather than in a group. 

Also I would say that looking into trans support groups in your area might be beneficial for you. 

I hope this helped.

Good news! If you don’t like the libido odds are it’ll go back down soon enough both ours and our friends did. Maybe a month after starting?

hmmm I’ve been on hrt for over 2 years now,,

THEY ARE WONDERFUL! They remind us of Ravenclaw and they are lovely!

Thank you!! :D

We hadn’t even thought of that, but bronze and blue are ravenclaws colours, right? I mean they are supposed to be owls, not eagles, but still a bird of wisdom, so it fits :)

Anyway, thanks so much for the praise, we are grinning like mad over here ;)

i drink about 4-5 liters a day, and i eat a lot of salty food but don't suppliment my salt any more, now a year ago pre-testosterone or even further back, pre-midodrine, i was drinking the same amount but taking in an exta 2-6 grams of salt a day to stay stable

I never really eat salty food, especially when I eat within my diet (which is mostly fruits and meats, I like sweet foot more.) so that could be part of my issue. I might try uping my salt iptake, though I think I'll feel weird taking shots of salt aahhh. Thanks a lot for the info! Glad you're able to go without it now. Have a good one! <3
