@rosemcgowan @CoriBush You know I love you Rose, and that's why I need to help you understand: Acknowledging that all sorts of people can give birth isn't smearing anyone, my dear friend. You lose nothing of your womanhood by including us. We *are* rising together! And @CoriBush just fyi you're my hero — PolitiTweet.org

@StantonOptical1 I have to go back in 2 weeks to pick up my other pair of glasses, that I already paid for. Just "sharing with management" isn't enough. I want to know that your staff has gone through training by the time I go back, so I can be assured this won't happen to me or anyone else again — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@StantonOptical1 I want to know what you're is going to *do* & I want to see proof that you've followed through on it. Informing management is a waste of time if they don't actually implement some training and policy changes. I'm a #trans activist, if I can help. I consult or can recommend people — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@StantonOptical1 I would like a follow up in a week. If you're not #transgender, frankly you cannot understand, and I would appreciate it if you didn't pretend that you can, let alone do. I'm not "disappointed," it wasn't "difficult." I faced *repeated harassment* from your staff bc I'm #LGBTQ. — PolitiTweet.org

@DJParticle I didn't get that impression. I think if I'd said, "I'm a #trans woman. I actually use ma'am, not sir, & my name is Danielle, like it's written there, not Daniel," that the message might have gotten across. But I shouldn't have to spell it out. it's literally already spelled out — PolitiTweet.org

@j_jmccarl09 @StantonOptical1 apathy, ignorance. One is a lack of education, the other is just not being paid enough to care & have pride in your job, and trying to have a good reputation as a company and having loyal customers. I live 300 miles away, I was in town & I came here on a personal recommendation. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@Kissmyreview @StantonOptical1 I tagged them on Twitter. We'll see what comes of it. I don't want to say anything to the employees here at the store (they're making my glasses while I wait) and the other pair won't be ready for a few weeks. I don't want them to retaliate. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@miriamlclarkep @StantonOptical1 I mean I'm gonna get misgendered multiple times even after correcting people unless I'm in an #LGBTQ space. I know that there are some good people here but this is America after all. If this didn't happen constantly, I wouldn't need to be an activist & i could go back to music 🙃 — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

I'm wearing a button that says "She / her / hers" and a pink headscarf, and I'm carrying a purse. And my ID says female. Is there something more I'm supposed to be doing so your staff genders me correctly? I corrected the person multiple times, showed my ID, and I'm wearing this https://t.co/hzj7YR6O7r — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

Getting an eye exam at @StantonOptical1. I corrected the person 2x when called "Daniel" instead of Danielle, 2nd time I even showed her my ID. She still called me "sir" 4 more times & Daniel throughout the exam. I'm just trying to get glasses. Could do without the harassment. — PolitiTweet.org

There's a difference between someone being ignorant - lacking information - and being an asshole - lacking compassion. Don't waste your time trying to educate assholes. You have to want to be educated to be educable. — PolitiTweet.org

I think so! Sounds supportive to me. We are a community and we celebrate each other. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a trans woman who can't transition the way I want to. I live in Kentucky, I'm an activist making less than $10k/yr, and I'm on Medicaid. I have chronic back pain. and I've been trying to access physical therapy for two years. I've just accepted that I'm going to get harassed. — PolitiTweet.org

Hey you, person reading this! If you haven't done so already—& consider yourself a #trans ally—please take a second to update your… - Twitter bio - email sig - everywhere your name is displayed ✊ (nametag, biz cards, desk/office door nameplate) to include your pronouns! 💘 ✊ — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

Every time you introduce yourself, remember to say your name AND #pronouns. If your work has written applications, a sign-in at reception, nametags etc—always ask for people's name + their pronouns. More advice for #trans allies: https://t.co/iVEtRwGSmd #PresidentialAddress — PolitiTweet.org

Day 387 until I get a response: Hey @JoeBiden! It would mean a lot to #transgender people to put your #pronouns in your @Twitter bio, as @KamalaHarris @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @JulianCastro @CoryBooker & I do.

Hard to believe this tweet went viral 3 whole years ago. I will say one thing about the pandemic, it's made it socially acceptable for us to tell men "please remain 6 feet away from me" when they get in your space. And random dudes haven't demanded i smile for them in over a year — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

you incarcerate don't die on your watch, is simply doing the bare minimum of your job. Not being a murderer doesn't just therefore make you a good person. The things people tell themselves so they can sleep at night is just mind-blowing sometimes. #ACAB #BlackLivesMatter — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato
