a friend working in the theatre advertised for a ‘theatre facilitator’. the first cover letter she opened. said … paragraph one…. I am a gender fluid, mixed heritage, mentally disabled facilitator……..

so intersting that these days instead of advertising one’s skills ,talents, work history and positivity when applying for a job… the applicant advertises the baggage they carry with them. Don’t we all have gender identity crises, jewish grandparents, a stutter when stressed, but in my generation we dealt with it in a different less harmful way, and applied for jobs listing our strengths, not laying out all the problems that we carry with us.
