Anon is a Trans Inclusive Radical Sexist.

[–] 0laura@lemmy.world 95 points 11 months ago (1 children)

the correct word is TIRM. trans inclusionary radical misogynist.

Trans-radical inclusive misogynist doesn't quite work, unfortunately.

Transphobic Radically Inclusive Misogynist

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 11 points 11 months ago

I don't think that really works since the entire point is that they're very much not transphobic. They're explicitly being accepting of trans identities.

I think that leaves too much room for sympathy

Trans-inclusive radical misogyny...

Those damn TIRMs and their Conditions

Let's crunch the numbers, would it be financially sensible to pay for m to f transition of Employees, so you can pay them less in the long run?

Mandatory MTF transition as a job requirement on the horizon.

[–] odium@programming.dev 9 points 11 months ago

Maga hats say this unironically. It's a Republican scare tactic.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

With 27% pay cut and the employee having a 3000/month salary and them working a decade in most cases yes

[–] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Hold up, doesn't that depend on the transition costs?

[–] SirBucksworth@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

„So John… Listen. We‘re not enough revenue to pay you your regular salary. Either you cut off your d*ck, or we‘ll have to cut you off“

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I like that cutting his Pay as man is no option whatsoever

[–] ADTJ@feddit.uk 11 points 11 months ago

Now you're getting it!

Reducing the pay and benefits of your best computer programmer/IT person is not a good move, anon.

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 21 points 11 months ago

dw there's a furry in the workspace

[–] dch82@lemmy.zip 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, the real best IT person is working in the basement and hasn’t come out since 2003

/s

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

That person is at home working on personal projects and occasionally checks on the automated systems they set up in the basement 20 years ago

"I have no problems with my computers" - "None that you noticed yet"

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Who's saying it's their best programmer/IT person? It could very well be their head of HR or legal counsel.

[–] duckythescientist@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's an in joke and a genuine trend that there's a large overlap between programmers/IT and trans women.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Ah, ok, I wasn't aware.

I was trying to make a joke that they were such a chad that they'd do this to their legal/HR team.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 53 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Be sure to mansplain things to her, too. Oh, "mansplaining" is when you assume they are ignorant about a topic and start explaining it as if they are clueless.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for pointing that out in case OP's employee is in the comments.

Poster is the person who made the post

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 48 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget to pass her up for promotion.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 4 points 11 months ago

And talk over her in meetings, and then suggest her idea as if it was yours.
