I worked for Wells Fargo for a little while. While working there they were a sales driven bank. All they cared about were ‘solutions’. Which basically means getting people to open new accounts, start a new line of credit that kind of bullshit. Now for most people, a checking, savings and maybe a credit card is all you want or need.
What they trained us to do was to convince poor people to open a separate checking and savings account. As many ass possible. And they would be ‘free’ so long as you met certain criteria. Those being things like a certain amount of transactions, minimum balances or transfers. Easy stuff.
But the criteria are set to change every 12 months or so depending on the accounts. Now Wells Fargo would open hundreds of thousands of these accounts a year. So every 12 months hundreds of thousands of people would just start having 8 or 10 or 12 dollar fees coming out of their accounts with no explanation. Now, some people are able to come in and meet with a banker after waiting in a lobby for a few hours. But not everyone. And absolutely NO ONE is informed that their account will not be free forever.
So basically, Wells Fargo is lying to their customers and intentionally stealing their money.
The worst part is that generally the people with these kinds of fees being assessed are the people where if a random 12 dollar fee comes out at the wrong time, you end up in overdraft land. Once you’re there, you basically stay there. They charge 34 bucks per charge over your balance. So if you have 20 bucks, spend 5 on gas, 10 on lunch and dinner and then buy milk on the way home and had no idea a random 12 dollar charge was coming out you’re out 100 bucks.
And it’s all 100 % legal.
Fuck Wells Fargo.
If it wasnt for the fact that they have our car loan, we’d have nothing to do with them
I just realized that John already has the initial for “Holmes” in his name. John H. Watson. John Holmes Watson. Thank you grandad ACD
“And you must be Doctor John Watson, I presume?” “That’d be Doctor John H. Watson.”, I rectified, shaking the man’s hand.
I dared a playful glance at my companion. Holmes never failed to flush up with pleasure at my correction, and the queerly boastful way in which I always uttered it.
can’t talk about periods because it “triggers” trans women
can’t talk about their vaginas because it “triggers” trans women
can’t talk about issues in other parts of the female reproductive system because cissexism, transphobia and it “triggers” trans women
can’t talk about how they don’t like penises because it hurts trans womens feelings
can’t talk about their attraction to female body parts because not every female has [insert body part] and it may hurt trans womens feelings
has to overcome her sexual boundaries because penises are “female organs”
[insert more]
It would be a constant walk on eggshells. They would be always at risk of getting called a cisbian/cissexist/transphobe and so on. We know how gendershits react if you say the “wrong” things. It can be very dangerous.
So who benefits from all this?? Hint: Not lesbians
I’m a trans woman in a relationship with a girl.
– When she talks about her period, I listen. If she is on her period, I offer her support and try to make her comfortable in any ways I can. I’ve thought a thousand times about how I don’t have a female reproductive system, I’m quite used to it – the word ‘period’ isn’t going to upset me. All it means is I can’t talk from experience about periods, so I might start to feel uncomfortable in social situations where such discussion is taking place.
– We have frequent discussions about vaginas, the female reproductive system, issues that target women with a female reproductive system, and about the female body and how beautiful it is. It doesn’t trigger me. At most, it makes me slightly impatient for the later stages of my transition.
– My partner doesn’t particularly dislike penises, but if she told me she doesn’t like them, my response would be something like “me neither.”
– If my partner’s sexual boundaries excluded penises then I would be fine with that, there are plenty of other ways in which to enjoy each other’s bodies.
And the whole egg shells things – Yes, there are many sensitive issues that I have, and I do often get upset about things while my girlfriend is around. For example I was watching her get dressed, and I noticed how well clothes fit her, then I got upset about how my proportions don’t lend themselves so well to female clothing. But I wasn’t there calling her transphobic for getting dressed in front of me? I wasn’t blaming her for how I was feeling? Everybody has sensitive issues, it would be difficult to find a partner who doesn’t have at least a couple of issues that might come up in day to day life; just because trans women may have a concentration of these issues around certain areas doesn’t mean we aren’t viable as female partners?
I’m not saying every trans woman is the same as me (though, looking at other comments people have made, many of us seem to have a similar outlook), what I’m saying is that any number of these supposed reasons may or may not apply to any given trans woman, so they aren’t not reasons enough to rule out trans women as potential partners.
It still stands that for a lesbian (or anyone who dates women) to say, outright, that they don’t date trans women, is transphobic. Even if your standard of woman, or the types of women you’re attracted to might rule out many trans women, there are thousands of trans women whom you wouldn’t know aren’t cis without being told, so to rule those out just because they’re trans is definitely transphobic.
To conclude, all your points are flawed and you need to learn some things.
I’m a cis girl attracted to girls. I am in a relationship with a trans women
– When I’m on my period curled up in pain, she curled around me and tells me she would take the pain away if she could. She gets me a hot drink and chocolate and watches films with me. I don’t hide it from her, she knows how her body works and she’s getting use to how mine works. Not every women has periods, trans or cis.
– We are in a sexual relationship of course we’re going to talk about vaginas, aside from this we talk in general if she has any questions I’ll answer them.
– I don’t have an issue with penises. If I did there are plent of other sexual ‘adventures’ you can have with people.
– Why can’t I talk about an attraction to ‘female’ body part? She’s with a girl she clearly appreciates them too!
As the women above stated my girlfriend has somethings she will get upset about, I know what these are and try to minimise her upset. I know she thinks she’s too tall and wishes she was closer to my height. No matter what happens she can’t change her height, I tell her how amazing her height is, I try to help her accept who she is. She’s got beautiful long legs every time we are out and she’s got her legs out and heels on people approach her and tell her how jealous of her legs they are, sometimes it’s small steps to acceptance that helps her.
Stop generalising trans women. So what if someone other than you benefits from something?
I love my gorgeous girlfriend.
Many many many women love transwomen, again as the lady said above refusing to date a trans person is transphobic. End of story.
❤️read the comments & ignore irrelevant twefs
what world are terfs fucking living in where trans women are triggered by everything and need to be ~protected~? it really goes to show that you don’t see them as people and instead see them as problems. jesus.
