So here goes …….

Hey guys, I should start by saying that my name is Tatiana. Having just started with the company at the end of March, I’d like to say that I have caught up fast and truly enjoy my job. Not sure of what my co-workers write on their “blogs” or “profiles”, but I’d like to state – for the record - that I am a 25 year old butch lesbian. It’s something I am very proud of, and I am extremely lucky to have a job in which my performance is judged not by my sexual orientation but by my ability to do the job and my candor.

Even after a week of racking my brain with ideas, I still have no idea what to write about. I’ve concluded that I should just write about my experiences as a butch lesbian in NYC.

Now you would think that living in NYC and being a lesbian would not be that big of a deal. My experience has shown me that just the opposite is the case. I can see how much my appearance affects people from suits to everyday hipsters. It’s actually pretty unreal to see how much things have NOT changed in this society. I am very articulate, detail oriented, professional and personable. However, when seeking a corporate job I am expected to dress in high heels and mini skirt? I was unaware that wearing high heels and a mini skirt was the best way to get the job done. I guess it depends on what the “job” is, doesn’t it? Are they looking for a cute corporate accessory, or being an effective employee. In my experience, even in New York, it’s often the former.

Now don’t get me wrong I respect corporate America. I just think there needs to be a change. Take for example, Google - a multimillion dollar company who lets their employees bring their dogs to work and play pool during lunch. I’m not saying that corporate “big-wigs” should break out a game of darts during their weekly staff meetings. What I am saying is that maybe focusing on the employees efforts’ and work ethic as opposed to how much money they can make for you would make things not only run smoother but their “employees” work so much harder – resulting eventually in the desired profit.

To continue…I am rather sick of both men and woman looking me as if I am threat. To the woman, “No I do not want to have sex with you” and to the men, don’t get it twisted -this is not a Freudian slip of any sorts, “I do not have penis envy”. Why should it matter, who I sleep with or hold hands with? Why is so much cooler for two women to be sloppily drunk and kissing each other than it is to see two men walking down the street holding hands walking with their child/ren? If people in the gay community wish to get married – hell, why not? Can’t we be given the chance to be as miserable as straight people are in their marriages?

For the religious skeptics … Well first of all if you are even reading this or hell for that matter on this site, are you really even religious as you claim to be? More or less I don’t care about the religious skeptics; religion is just a type of media - blocking our view of reality.

With love and pride

Tatiana aka Clitalicious
