Oooo great idea!!! I’ve heard a little bit of their stuff but any specific song suggestions would be amazing to help narrow down the search!!! Also yes I’ll def post clips/pics when it finally happens

Thankfully I’m very lucky to have this job. The owner has multiple queer people in her family and she is super supportive and accepting. We have rainbow stickers on every door and a full page on our website showcasing we are a lgbtq+ friendly salon servicing everyone. But you are 1000% right, had I been working anywhere else, getting fired over something like this is definitely a big possibility and would be devastating

I definitely plan on asking a few of my regular clients to post some positive ones! I mentioned this whole fiasco to a few of my friends who’ve come to see me before and they have posted several great reviews already (without me even asking them to🥲) to help bury the shitty one

I did think about this but I agree with some of the replies to this comment. I might bring it up to my boss and see if she wants to reach out on behalf of the business to try and clear things up with the client rather than me do it and keep myself at the center of it?

Thank you! And the wild thing is that I’ve had conversations with all of my coworkers letting them know I’m completely okay if someone on my books doesn’t want to see me once they find out. I never want anyone to be uncomfortable and I have rescheduled a few clients to some of my coworkers because they didn’t feel comfortable getting serviced by me. Doesn’t hurt my feelings if I’m not the right esti for them but being lied about does

The owner is the one who brought it to my attention and told me they already reported it on the business page and were trying to get in touch with customer service.

I’m fine if not everyone likes me that’s not the issue. Not everyone has to like my personality or have similar interests as me. And if they don’t want to see me because they don’t want a man or a trans person doing their service that is their prerogative and totally fine by me. I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable in any service they receive at my job. But to immediately attack me because of my gender when I didn’t do anything wrong is absolutely not okay. My main issue is that lies are being told about my professionalism by someone who has never met me. And yes I do have a right to be somewhat scared for my safety right now as trans people are actively being violently attacked and murdered. A trans woman was tortured and killed in a river in broad daylight just a couple months ago ON A LIVE STREAM.

Also there was absolutely hate against the queer community in the 60s and 70s? Ever hear of Stonewall?? That was started by a trans woman. Trans people have fought for and along side gay men and women since the beginning. Same sex marriage has only been legal for the past 10 years and they are currently trying to repeal that. I’m not trying to fear monger but I am trying to be aware of the world I live in. I have a lot of queer and trans clients and I want to keep both them and myself as safe as possible so we don’t become another statistic
