I am well, thank you. Let me start with a question. It says here you don't discriminate based on "...affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or sex." Is that correct?
Absolutely not. Here at Johnson and Richards, we believe in the unique abilities of all people.
Great. Because based on my DNA, I'm a man. But I choose to identify as a woman.
Although as you can see, I'm a short-haired woman with a strong jawline and broad shoulders. Also, I wear pants, because I won't be forced into dressing "like a lady."
And I'm sexually attracted to women, because that's what my DNA dictates. However, I have no problem showing affection to men, because I will not be ruled by stereotypes.
-Certainly not. So, do you have any experience with Microsoft Excel?
Come again?
-Well, this is an interview for the administrative assistant position.
So because I told you I identify as a woman, you think I'm only qualified to be a secretary?
-No...I'm sorry, what? You requested this interview because you implied you were well suited to the job.
If I were any less of a lady, I would smack you in the face! But instead, I am going to be dignified and talk to human resources about your tact -- or lack thereof.
-I apologize, Miss...
Say no more! I will not be subjected to your antiquated labels.
-But I already called you Miss and you didn't object. In fact, it's what's on your resume.
So you are reducing me to a piece of paper? I am a dignified woman, goddammit. I demand to be treated with respect! Or would you rather me strut in here with my "package" in my hand?
-Excuse me...your package? I didn't think wom...
That's right, you didn't think.
-...I'm sorry. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I don't think you're cut out for this position.
"Don't discriminate," my ass! My lawyer will be in touch soon.
