Oh I ended up withdrawing myself from that job I interviewed for yesterday and part of the reason was that he told me, a trans person, that there were some tensions between the trans community and his program, and then instead of stopping there went on to specifically say I’d have no power to do anything about it in my position 😶

#the more I think about it the more I’m like. hm. that was…… ok then #I asked him about diversity and inclusion in his department and I think he panicked a little bit #letting me know about the tensions was good info to have #but then telling me I’d be powerless to make any change was #a choice #😂😂#like he was very nice but I think he wasn’t prepared for that question #interviews are a two way street #and he did not do very well I think 💀#like it didn’t feel malicious on his part #it felt more like he put his foot in his mouth ya know?#but still
