bad job interview today, i don't know how much longer i can repeat the cycle

[bpdwriter]

i had a job that looked perfect, but in the interview they started giving terf/transphobic vibes (i'm a cis woman, but queer & an ally) and i couldn't bring myself to pretend i was like them. i stood firm in stating my definition of women and femininity is inclusive. morally feels good, but that's not gonna pay the bills.

i'm so tired of this rejection cycle. i feel like i'm on my very last thread, already have enough saved up for an SN protocol, but i'm still not convinced i want to die fully. situations like these don't help

I would be concerned that you sabotaged yourself in some way, of course I wasnt there and I dont know the details. But you could have picked up 'vibes' that weren't really there because that seems like a really weird topic to come up during an interview. But otherwise, the sad reality is if you want a job, you may have to lie to them and say what they want to hear. In todays economy, not many people have the fortunes to pick wherever they want to work, you gotta take what opportunities you can get.

unfortunately it's a job with a woman-centered mission, so those q's were kinda inevitable since I'm guessing they don't want someone who's idea of being a woman is fundamentally different from theirs.

yeah, i did my best, practiced and everything. unfortunately waking up everyday to a job that disagrees with my morals would eat me alive. it's surviving for me, not living.

Hey,

Hard one because I understand at some point you basic needs have to be met and as bluebook said you may have to take whatever opportunity you can get.
I really hope you'll find a workplace that align with your values.

I completely understand you but if I may add a small note: if you have to survive it doesn't mean it is forever. I know it is far from ideal just wanted to add that small footnote.
