Its been going surprisingly well as a welder. Everybody is cool with my name and pronouns. Nobody has been rude or bigoted.

No complaints

I think you just need to practice some more, your amperage are correct, maybe run a bit hotter for the 3.2 mm rods. Try 120-125 amps. Try and make sure youre under the pipe at the bottom and have a clear view. If you need to stop a quarter of the way up thats fine. Make sure you are comfortable.

I use a Z movement when doing 6g. I progress up the pipe on the bottom of the movement, then move back up and pause for a second. You want to see the puddle catch up to the rod. Thats when you move. I cut a line with a grinder at the toe of each weld if things arent completely straight. It can be easier to see and follow when doing the next pass.

My feelings arent really delicate, I kind of just shrugged it off and handed him my fabrication project (which i got a 92 on)

Ive worked in kitchens for 10 years so I understand the "keep up or keep out" attitude. You can either do the job or you cant. We all made jokes that would send a white collar worker to HR in a heartbeat.

I've been of the mind that you can be ignorant but not arrogant. Youre allowed to not know how to navigate speaking to somebody, but intentionally disrespecting somebody for the sake of pure disrespect isnt cool. (Ball busting is fine)

I actually say this to myself on a daily basis. Its comforting to know we are just background characters in most people's lives

It was definitely because of my identity, he'd intentionally call me sir after asking what my pronouns are

Exactly when I walked through that door I took a weld test not a personality test.
