my store recently hired a new barista who is a trans man. he wears a he/him pin to work and is very open about been a trans man. one of my shift leads is an older (some might say “boomer”) woman and let’s just say, she has a pretty old fashioned mindset about gender and sexuality, as well as race and ethnicity, but those are totally different stories. anyways, she constantly misgenders the new partners and calls him “she”. the other night she told me “go cover for her lunch” and i said “you want my to cover for his lunch?” and she said “yeah for her lunch”. she’s also misgendered him to his face and when he’s in earshot. i feel really bad and try to lowkey emphasize his preferred pronouns to her but either she isn’t catching on or is doing it on purpose :/
