Years back while working for a restaurant I was manager. We had this young man that had long hair, and almost presented as a young lady. He wore his hair in a bun, wore tight black jeans with a white shirt. You get the picture. This woman got it her to complain about him. She said he was wearing girl jeans, blouse, and she could tell he was wearing panty’s underneath his jeans. She wouldn’t stop, and I just nodded I was aware of it. When she finally left other employees asked if I was going to fire him? My reply, “ the employee handbook states, black jeans with a white top.” There was nothing specific about gender, and besides he was a good employee.
This woman complained two more times after that incident. She failed to look at herself. She had a boy haircut, and dressed in man jeans with a black shirt, and no makeup. Her anger was intense to say the least. Eventually someone else fired this young man for another reason. Seeing him a year later though now working with long gel nails, long hair in a nice braid with a bow with black jeans, and white blouse. Now going by the name Angelica. I was happy for her as well.
What made her so unhappy that she felt the need to lash out at someone else? Was it that she was not feminine at all? How angry would she have been if she knew we had quite a few gay folks working with us and I was in my feel good panty’s and black tights that day. Too funny if you ask me.
