My Sister in Queer, the salvos are very bad. The workers are fine, but I would reccomend almost any other Op Shop over the salvos; they’re anti-LGBTQIA+.
Getting a blue, pink, white oodie is A+! Fantastic score!! I am so pleased your new job is treating you with respect! Keep being your authentic self, bc you are a strong independent woman!
The salvos and brotherhood are also very expensive. Anything that is not rags is sold as designer vintage for over $20. Savers might be an ersatz charity but at least they are cheap and have better quality.
Thanks oh starchy one. Yes, legitimately the best conditions I’ve ever worked under. I’m keeping things decidedly queer at the moment. The cis het world was never a place I felt at home in. blah blah footy blah blah blah. Nothing wrong with being into sports of course.
I honestly don’t fit in all that well in the queer or trans communities either. But at least I know I’ll be safe as long as it’s not in a bar full of gay men. Being neurodiverse trans and lesbian is a bit niche. Gotta pick the right places. I have found some. Bars are off limits anyway for the time being. Going to look into the local straight edge scene if I can.
Thanks for your kind words. I know there’s plenty of somewhat “normal” people who don’t give a shit about heritage or cultural differences. I can count on one hand the people who gushed with offers of support when I came out as trans who have kept in touch. Most of my friends just treat me exactly as they always did though which is much better than pretending to want to know every facet of transition.
Edit: I should that add that I accept things aren’t perfect and everyone faces the same problems regardless of whether they were born with things they can be marginalised for or not.

Yeah, pricey for opshop stuff, but oodies are expensive. https://theoodie.com/collections/products/products/unicorn-wearable-hooded-blanket This was $6 the dungarees 10. Still overpriced for opshop sure, but I don’t buy a lot of clothes so it’s in budget.

This is why I’m ambiguous about them.
Sad you never felt comfortable. I assure you if you were a part of my irl friend circle you would be loved and respected for who you are.
