So i’ve been working at starbucks for about a year now, and in that year I’ve noticed a lot of shifts having trouble gendering me correctly and no one really helps with correcting at all. I try to speak for myself when I can but i’m AFAB and haven’t been able to transition medically due to financial issues. I’ve spoken to several shifts I regularly work with that specifically working DTO and Window are the most draining with me getting the most misgendered in those positions. I think i’m good at bar, I clean as I go and communicate if I’m doing cafe bar but i understand people need to switch positions and work bar sometimes.

It’s just frustrating and discouraging feeling and hearing my coworkers misgender me to customers all the time, and i just don’t feel conectes to my partners so I feel alone and frustrated until I get to clock out. No pronoun pin feels like it’s enough, the starbucks ones are so tiny, and others ones I’ve used get snickers or eye rolls from customers and side glances from partners. What should I do? I’ve been debating looking for a new job but this is the first job i’ve had that can give me health benefits.
