I think it’s pretty wild that the body will just accept exogenous cross-sex hormones and start using them without issue.

EDIT: well, a caveat would be that cross-sex hormones would cause gender dysphoria for cis populations, and their brains don’t function as well on them, but I meant more like even a cis person’s body will grow boobs on estrogen or grow thick dark hair and develop stronger body odor on testosterone. It’s just wild the body is so adaptable, though maybe it shouldn’t be surprising since most people have all the hormones, just in varying amounts.

I know someone who was fired after responding to a Slack message with an emoji that was interpreted as critical of the CEO of the company, lol. The emoji wasn’t offensive or anything, it was just showing support for the message which was if I remember correctly was jokingly criticizing the CEO. I think the employee took up a legal battle after that.

I think it depends on the job and the culture you are in, how replaceable you are, etc. as to how to be instantly fired. I know people who have made mistakes in their job that cost the company lots of money and they weren’t fired. I know people who watched TV all day in the open office environment in full view and who weren’t fired.
