Yeah - housing and employment protections are too reasonable requests to get media attention. If the media platformed that conversation, we might come across as human beings deserving of empathy - can’t have that.

Like I’m burnt the fuck out. I don’t care about high school athletics - I just want to not lose my job two weeks after I get it because I have the wrong genitals.

Gotta get them clicks. This isn't out there enough to see coverage, it's just too reasonable. Hard to click-bait.

I think it also contributes to a kind of invisibility of the issue. People seem to passively think that all forms of job discrimination are illegal and don’t happen. It’s a significant part of why I don’t talk to family anymore.

Getting fired from gig work cleaning bird shit off bleachers because my drivers license had an “f” on it just isn’t a fun story. The survival sex work I resorted to afterwards might I guess.
