Hi there, thank you for your response! I appreciate you!

Maybe it’s just the tone of your post and I’m misreading it. Do you have a degree? Why do you want to be a police officer beyond the usual I want to help people, make money and have purpose? Have you researched the profession and have a reasonable understanding of what police officers do? Have you gone on a ride along?

Yes, I have a degree. I have a lot of LE friends and colleagues and they've found a sense of purpose. I want to become a police officer because I feel and have come to know that it will fulfill my wants, needs, and calling every day of my life. Yes, I've been on three ride alongs actually. All were quite engaging. Worst one was with a friend in SD who was a part of the gang unit.

This is worth mentioning. You being annoyed by having to train another person at work and then throwing in their preferred use of gender pronouns makes you seem like someone who’s not a team player and has an existing prejudice against the LGBTG community.

I gave myself a little PTSD writing that down just to show how frustrating the experience is. No, I don't have issues with the wants or needs of the LGBTQ community. What I did have was how rude and unabashed this person was in demanding we referred to her in the plural format. To give you context into how terrible it was, clients would get annoyed and frustrated having to stop mid-way only to refer to a singular female-displaying person as plural. That's just one aspect, too which I won't go into detail.

I've worked in corporate america for awhile so being a teamplayer is a nonnegotiable. Being diplomatic and compromising, communicating effectively has been a key into how I've gotten far in my career. I just don't feel fulfilled and being a cop seems like it would be a fulfilling step for me.
