Another favorite genre of tweet: People accidentally admitting to breaking the law

My workplace is hiring and today we had a great applicant. Then she handed me her resume and she goes by a male name and he/him pronouns. If we were to employ her it would be on the condition that she would likely be “misgendered” because I refuse to use wrong sex or “they” pronouns. I don’t think it’s fair on her to ask her to make that concession. Or fair on our customers.
The other option, and most likely outcome, is we don’t employ her.
I wonder if trans activists realise that they don’t get opportunities because they compel others speech and behaviour. Not because they are “trans.” Their demands impact everyone around them. Nobody wants to walk on eggshells at work.
Such a shame because I liked her and she’s otherwise the best candidate so far.

One of my favorite types of tweet is every November and January when Jake Sherman reports that Republicans are leaking to him from a meeting in which people are complaining about Republicans leaking to Jake Sherman.

For those keeping score that's Jake Sherman 1, Congressman Michael Baumgartner 0

People complaining about nobody publishing books for boys anymore:

10% writers upset they can't get a publishing deal

85% insecure men lashing out bc they can't process culture leaving them behind

5% genuine but misplaced concern from folks who aren't tapped into modern kidlit
