Maybe it's not as unpopular as I think it is...

My transmale employee was complaining today about how someone referred to him as a "she" and how pissed off he got about it, and wouldn't shut up about it.

I cut him off and said, "Everyone assumes my name is spelt 'AMY' and I've never complained once. I'll simply correct them, if it's needed. Otherwise, does it really fuck your day up that much you're gonna sit here and rant all day because they referred to you incorrectly? You're never going to see them again."

Maybe it's because I'm his boss, but he shut up instantly and never brought it back up. I didn't mean to belittle him, but honestly that's how I see it. If you want someone to refer to you, how you want to be referred to as, then correct them. Otherwise, spell my name wrong, and call my trans employee his "incorrect" pronoun. Idgaf.

Cat Tax with featured cat tree from my only FP post, because I could never figure out how to add it after people asked, lol.

EDIT: Since a lot of people were curious, it was a customer who referred to my employee as a "she" while they were talking. My employee then proceeded to complain and rant about the simple mistake for almost two hours to each new employee who clocked back in. We all work alongside him, we use his perferred name and pronouns. He's never gonna see that customer again, hence my reaction.
