Not Real — Description
Haha who doesn't love vent art

At work this week, I had a coworker be blatantly transphobic towards me and basically told me that 'it didn't matter if I thought I was a guy, I was still a girl" and she would continue to call me a girl even though I've asked everyone to refer to me with he/him pronouns. It was absolutely humiliating and a terrible way to start my shift, but the moment I had time I went to HR and told them what happened.

They were more than helpful, apologizing profusely for what my coworker had said and promising me they would have a talk with her to let her know that stuff doesn't fly. The situation has been handled and I'm so glad my work had my back during such a terrible moment, but it still left this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I would never be able to do enough to be a "real guy". I know I'm fairly feminine, I know I'm curvy, but that doesn't mean I'm any less than any other person walking around.

Later this week, Mac and I learned that this coworker had been talking to people and telling them what happened, but we doubt she's being unbiased about the situation. So we're ready for some potential shenanigans to start.

Plus, Mac was ready to defend my honor the moment she heard about what happened. She wasn't about to let that slide AT ALL and I definitely appreciate how supportive she's been through this whole thing ^^

Anyway, thanks for letting me get this vent art out. I really wanted to get a lot of my negative emotions out in my art so I could get it out of my head and it really helped. ^^
