I don’t know the artist sadly :(

Edit: this post got so much engagement so fast that it literally broke my Reddit app for a couple of minutes 😭

The first interviewer just assumed I was a girl, and I never corrected them, because I really needed the job and didn't want to make waves. And then the next interviewer did the same, and then the hiring manager, and then I got the job. I've been here for 6 months and still haven't corrected them. It seems easier to just go with it, at this point. People are also WAY nicer to me this way so that’s a plus.

Edit: to be clear I am not standard het guy cis. I am cis in that I feel my birth sex aligns just fine with my gender. I prefer to present androgynous or feminine, consider myself to be male, and I like the term “boy” for myself. I don’t consider myself a woman, but it feels just fine to be seen as one.

Edit 2: I always choose not to disclose gender on job applications. Obviously HR saw my ID when signing onboarding papers and they know. They don’t volunteer that info to other employees, though. So I guess it’s most accurate to say “everyone I work with day-to-day”.

Edit 3: in all seriousness I can’t rly be Forcefemmed, I am very comfortable with my level of femininity. I guess I’m kind of tomboyish so maybe skirts-and-dresses femininity would need a lot of encouraging but yeah. I do find the Forcefem jokes funny tho, don’t worry.
