    Where I am, there is someone who is sexist and transgender phobic. But being a woman, she can get away with it.....
    That's bulltulip and you know it! If I asked one of the harpies at our place "how's it hanging?" I'd be out of the door tout suite!

        Nyah, someone said that to me once and I didn't mind. Kind of gender-neutral comment, I suppose.

        I open doors for men also if there first, it is just manners.

        Being patted, on the other hand - have suffered this, it is horrible. Worse if they are above you in chain of command as they resent you if you ask them to pack it in.

          Gender neutral? What's gender neutral about asking how your penis is hanging?

            So yep, don't hold a door open, don't make a compliment, don't look 'em in the eye, in fact just don't engage with them at all. Just stay in your own little box room and hope they don't forget to throw the odd fish head round the door once a day.
            Oh do sod off.

                  You're not qualified for this topic mate, a sense of humour is a prerequisite.

                  Great spot of white knighting though

                      Haha! Not sure about that.

                      I'm older now so it's less of an issue. Make of that what you will.

                      Did feel sorry for a girl recently getting a creepy shoulder-massage by the guy who signs her timesheets. Ugh.

                      Have seen young male grads being harassed by older female managers also. One of them used to hire on the basis of looks. It did explain why her team were all tall good-looking young men. This was a few years ago though.
