Brouhaha, no shit! I credit workspace training videos like this with alerting me that something was rotten in the state of Transmark. A few years ago I was a fresh hire and had to sit through a 2 hour behemoth of a training video produced by god knows what trans lobby group. The video featured a diminutive woman with a short haircut hauling a huge cardboard box around a warehouse. A fellow male coworker almost bumped into her and asked, "Do you need help with this, Gina?" And the woman seethed and squawked how it was George, not Gina, and the narrator in the video started howling about how mIsGeNdErInG is a workplace offence akin to sexual harassment. And I just sat there and thought, wait, I kinda always presumed you couldn't tell tRaNs PeOpLe from members of the sex they are trying to be? At least not at first sight? But this "George" is a nothing but a fucking woman with short hair? And she expects to be called a man or it's harassment? Let's say I got a perfect understanding of what tRaNs PeOpLe are in reality from that brief demonstration.

funny how training sessions are either 1. decent or 2. MST3K-tier (though less funny is that it's 2-4 hours of something you have to agree to about a very specific niche of work/life, or else you lose your job/college)
