[QUOTE="ReshiIRE, post: 8459474, member: 7031231"] Transphobia, like all bigotry or attitudes, is not merely something outloud, or indeed just concious. Nor does one incident mean a company is transphobic at a whole. But them hiring and having Fraiser as a writer and contracter doesn't mean there are not transphobic elements in the company; nor does it mean that policy itself wasn't transphobic, especially because everything I have read lead to me believing that cis people absolutely [I]were[/I] allowed to share a room even if they weren't married. In addition, part of the early defense that came from the president themselves referenced the 'I have gay friends' excuse, which doesn't even make sense in the context. They didn't need to create a policy dealing with trans people. Heck, them sticking to a single room by default unless people explicitly agree to double up policy would have solved the issue, [I]if they then apologised for the trouble they caused and the fact that, whatever reason they had or not, it seemed pretty damn transphobic[/I]. Perhaps, I should have started with this (I admit I have followed this pretty closely), but from the woman herself: [URL='https://twitter.com/amazonchique/status/1437953182882217986']"Jess hasn't even talked about how Paizo explicitly laid out different freelancing rules for their only transgender employee at the time solely because a queer employee made that manager uncomfortable and she didn't want her having outside opportunities."[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/AmazonChique/status/1437955520514625539']"Or how Paizo made employees double up in convention rooms, and refused to bring transgender employees to conventions (limiting career development and networking) because they wouldn't room a cis woman employee with a trans woman coworker even when they both said it was fine."[/URL] It seems pretty blunt to me.
