"... there’s a good chance he or she is anti-more things" Reasonably disagree, too broad. | |
| Aug 27, 2021 at 12:21 | comment | added | gnasher729 | @Flater You can observe how people act in different situations. That doesn't lead to "making assumptions" about them, but to making "educated guesses". Your chances of being right are good, and nothing in the world is perfect. | |
| Aug 25, 2021 at 10:32 | comment | added | gnasher729 | Juliane, you confused "anti-transgender" with "specifically anti-transgender". Specifically means someone who has no problem whatsoever with any minorities (or majorities), doesn't care if you are black, white, jewish, hindu, christian, atheist, male, female, gay and so on but turns out to be transphobic. That person is very rare. If you interviewed transphobic people, the majority of them would be against other minorities as well. | |

I get what you're trying to say but I wouldn't lump all intolerances together like that, and most definitely not when you use it as a basis for making assumptions about someone else's opinion. | |

I mean I had a guage on that before, but any guess on how hireable I am after I am more openly trans would only be a guess. And my conservative guess and my generous guess vary widely meaning I have no idea. | |

They have not been brazenly bigoted with me but that just means they have enough tact not to be a bigot in front of a subordinate they barely know. It might be the fear speaking but I don't think my culture is 90% unconcerned. | |
