Yes, it’s a serious issue.

Eons ago when I first started to transition I was prevented from making a purchase once because my card didn’t match my female me.

The clerk then seemingly took delight in increasing the volume of their voice when informing me.

The irony being that at work one our cute “pretty plastic people” girls used the male bosses CC all the time.

Should it matter? No, but until people evolve into human beings and leave their bigoted transphobic selves behind, anything like this can, and will, be used as a tool to embarrass and harass transgender people.

What does this mean?

Re:True Name – Mastercard by MissTake on Sunday January 07, 2024 @07:18PM (#38906655)
Girls who wear more makeup than comes out of L’Oréal every six months, more perfume than Dolce & Gabanna creates a year, and horribly fake fixed smiles designed to endear themselves to anyone they wish to suck up to.

I think that's mean and borderline sexist or misogynist.

It's mean but hardly sexist or misogynist unless you yourself think the description embraces all or most women.

I might make a mean spirited remark about boy racer rev heads, but that's directed at a specific subset of the much broader male spectrum.

How typical of the type of man you are to make such misogynistic comments towards women.

I’m a trans woman.

The females I’m referring are the vapid shallow ones that are on par with the hyper masculine males one also gets.

And I didn’t coin the phrase where I work - It was used initially by a cisgender female coworker who’d been stabbed in the back by more than one of these girls.

For the longest time these PPP girls were in senior positions in the company and always seemed to get away with doing the smallest amount of effort possible.

So no, no misogyny here - a PPP could also include males as well.

They have fake personalities and use that to their advantage with no real honesty.
