Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

Hey, it sounds like you were trying to improve things at work and you were punished for it - as hard as it is to lose your job, it's probably good that you won't stick around there in the long term.
I hope you're able to find a good job, too - maybe moving to a different region where the culture is better could help, or changing careers, etc. I know not everyone has the same options and opportunities, but I just hope you don't get too discouraged - life is really strange, sometimes it just takes persistence to eventually find the right place for you.
Meanwhile, take comfort that you were doing all the right things and keep up the good work 💕
Thank you so much. Yes, like 70% of my department will retire within the next 8 years. Most studied together and have formed a group that won't let new people in. New hires usually don't stay. So it's not a good company either way. Still sucks. My husband and I are also looking into moving to a smaller city, so this is at least a good chance to look for jobs somewhere else.
