Hi All,
Troublesome situation. At work earlier this week there were 3 colleagues having a laugh about a previous workplace of one of them where there was a transitioning t-girl working. They were laughing and joking about restrooms and finally suggested much to their mirth that she should use the disabled one because it was the most suitable place for her.
I was upset and angry about this exchange but felt powerless to do anything about it. Although I am not transitioning, I have friends who are. I am not out at work, nor is it an option for me. The company have an anti-discrimination policy but I do not feel able to bring it to the attention of h.r. without incriminating myself or opening the door to questions about 'who spilled the beans'. I also don't want to get my colleagues into trouble because they are generally good people.
If only they knew I'm sure it wouldn't recur!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Em
