As a guy with a unisex name I’ve been hired for freelance jobs only for the production manager or whoever to disappointedly say something like, “I thought you’d be a girl” 🙄

Although, this is why I now tell people my pronouns are “they” when they ask and I haven’t met them yet.

Like fuck off, I’m going to leave it a mystery you creep.
