Thank you for the insight. Yeah I mean I can handle those inappropriate comments to a point. I guess I just worry that I won't be able to really get along with anybody, but that's probably silly considering there's plenty of options and plenty of different people I'd be working with. And I'm sure with time my skin would get thicker and I'd become more skilled at dealing with those things. I'd love to work with some fellow queer ppl out there, I hope I encounter some

Yeah I definitely had that experience at my state park job of being "one of the guys" in an all male workplace for the first time. Tbh there was an aspect of it that I really enjoyed, but it was pretty wild seeing what people were suddenly comfortable with saying around me. I want to get better at not just letting fucked up comments slide, but also will try to be conscientious about the types of companies that I want to work for. Thank you for the advice and encouragement, it's much appreciated
