I applied under my legal name. No way around it really, so I'll have to tell the truth later. Policy, taxes, W-2's blah, all I know is that neither the government or the corporation cares that I stopped being a girl at least 5 years ago (even though the pride merch is filling the front). It's for the more presentable queers. Those white, married gays and lesbians moving into the suburbs with their kids and white picket fences and their acceptable bodies. No trans flag in sight, just gaudy rainbow after gaudy "love wins". Where's my prize? Same-sex marriage doesn't help when I decide whether to *** like a man or a woman.
