People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.

I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.

A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?

It is a big deal because i’m a transman.

It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.

Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.

At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.

At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.

TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

Target has had its share of problems, but their willingness to hire LGBT folks has always impressed me. I live in an area with a large LGBT community - all four of the letters well-represented. And the staff at my local Target reflects that. It’s so nice and sadly unexpected to see large companies stepping up like that.

I’ve just seen and heard so much hatred. I’ve been called garbage, I’ve been called the death of fucking good music, trash, stupid, pointless and disposable. I don’t understand. I’m just trying to make people happy. And it’s such positive, fun music. Like, why are people so angry?

Oh shit, the moment you realize she’s human.

And for the record I’ve always loved Kesha’s music.

i’ve seen this a few times now.

honestly i feel bad about it because i was one of those people who said that it wasn’t really music and it was just synthesized saccharine coated whatever.

i’ve actually realized that i was wrong. i’d like to personally apologize to her if i could but that doesnt seem entirely realistic. and the truth of the matter is that she’s entirely right: it IS positive fun MUSIC. and ya know what? when i think of club bangers and party jams and dance until you are so sweaty that you cant think music I THINK OF KE$HA.

i would like to come out and say that i for one am super happy she’s making music. more specifically im happy shes making music in which the best way to dance to it is to bounce around like an idiot and throw glitter at people. the world needs more wonton joy.
