So I went with DH to his work today cause he forgot something in his office and we were in the area. He stopped by to talk to some friends in security while we were there.
One of his co-workers (he works in a different department but DH still sees him at times) was there. I have met this guy and I don't like him. He is very vocal about his dislike for gays, anyone not white, transgender people, etc. I am not sure why the company keeps him on but he doesn't work with the public so maybe that is why, idk.
So they were talking about how they all had to watch a video about diversity in the workplace and how the company made them watch it again because they just hired someone who is transgender.
The guy asked my DH if they had an issue with people not liking transgender people in his department.
Without missing a beat my DH replied "No, we got rid of the racists and bigots a few years ago."
The guy was just silent and left lol.
This is one of the many reasons why I love him.
I love my DH's response to this guy
I'm sure that if he had said the wrong thing at work, the company would have addressed it.

Yeah I don't really know cause DH hasn't directly worked with this guy, he just sees him sometimes. He's one of those "I'm going to tell you my views even though you didn't ask" type people. First time I met him after introductions he started spouting off about that law where trans people can use whatever restroom they want. We just walked away. It wasn't worth even talking to him.

I’m a little disturbed that the company felt the need to announce the hire as transgender anyway. Not sure that’s appropriate, but glad your dh put that ass in his place!

True. I guess unless they announced it people wouldn't have known. But it could be something like maybe they are transitioning and the company wants extra sensitivity to them? Idk.
I still dont understand why the alphabet people need the rest of us to know their gender or sexual preferences.
