“He said, ‘So what does that mean for your sexuality?’; and ‘How are you going to identify now?’; and ‘How does that make you feel?’; and these really personal deeply uncomfortable questions,” she said.
Katharine — a pseudonym to protect her privacy — worked in a shop in New South Wales she said marketed itself as a “female-empowering, sex-positive, LGBTIQ-friendly adult store”, but that the owner was frequently inappropriate and sometimes transphobic. Katharine was encouraged by her partner to email the owner and explain why the situation made her feel uncomfortable, which she did one weekend. She said he didn’t reply and when she arrived at work the following Monday he asked to have a meeting with her and another colleague.
During the lengthy meeting, Katharine said, the owner denied his comments were inappropriate and “refused to accept responsibility” for his actions. “The way that people talk about sexual harassment is often an older male manager harassing a younger female staff member, and that certainly happens all the time, but I think the underlying driver of sexual harassment in workplaces is power and the misuse of power, and because different workplaces have particular power arrangements it means that different kinds of people are vulnerable,” Elkin told BuzzFeed News.
Why do people feel the need to bring sex preferences to work with them If you call attention to it then that’s on you. I don’t go to work and talk about the fact I’m straight. Try being professional and leave your personal life at home. Trust me nobody cares.
Just today I got, 'So you identify as (insert everything under the moon because he's asked A LOT) right? What's in your pants, then? Like, ya know? Boy parts? Lady parts?' Loudly. Everytime he asked it was loud as fuck.
LGBTIQ people can look different in the workplace. Are you happy to see a 50yr old male psychiatrist wearing a dress that claims to be a 14yr old girl. Think he/she/it is stable enuf to help those with psychological problems (even if they are not pertaining to sexual identity)?
Regardless. It sucks.
Can there be a reverse harrassment tweet? Instead if those who were harrassed, let the asshole say how they have harrassed us

Salmonella outbreak across 9 states is linked to pre-cut melons, CDC says; 93 people infectedThe pre-cut melon products have been recalled from Whole Foods, Kroger and other retailers across nine states reporting infections. Don't panic, the CDC will come up with a new vaccine to save you from getting this in the future. LOL The possible cause is employees who cut this fruit are not washing the outside of the melon prior to cutting. As a result, whatever bacteria is contained on the outside contaminates the flesh of the melon as the knife cuts through it.
