Two common practices in the U.S. restaurant industry – service with a smile and tipping – contribute to a culture of sexual harassment, according to new research from the University of Notre Dame.
“A perfect storm: Customer sexual harassment as a joint function of financial dependence and emotional labor” was recently published in the Journal of Applied Psychology from Timothy Kundro, assistant professor of management and organization at Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.
In the study, co-authored by Alicia Grandey and Vanessa Burke from Penn State University and Gordon Sayre from Emlyon Business School in France, more than 66 percent of restaurant employees reported facing some form of sexual harassment in the past six months.
Previous research has looked at the idea that customers can engage in sexual harassment. But this study is the first to examine why sexual harassment is so pervasive in the service industry itself. It’s also the first to empirically link tipping to sexual harassment.
“Service employee dependence on tips and requirements for friendly displays lead customers to experience a heightened sense of power – which can lead them to engage in sexual harassment,” said Kundro, whose research examines when and why employees engage in dysfunctional behavior, specifically looking at ethics, discrimination and impression management. “We show it’s really the joint effects of customer tipping and requirements for positive gestures that drive sexual harassment. When either isn’t present, customers don’t feel the same sense of power.”
now that i've had top surgery and no longer need them, i would like to donate my old binders directly to someone who needs one. i can just about cover shipping in the UK but elsewhere i would need you to pay for it; i'm pretty cash strapped rn. DM me on here or send an ask off-anon to claim anything. you can ask for more than one no worries.
I have 2 long-length gc2b binders in XL, one in black and one in white. both were worn semi-regularly for around two years and have some discolouration but otherwise still work as normal. i wouldn't describe them as stretched out yet; i stopped being able to wear them because of health changes.
i also have 2 short style binders from spectrum, one in XL and one in 2XL. these are much newer and less worn because i stopped binding regularly after purchasing them. both are broken in but still fit and bind more or less as-new.
NOTE: it's common to buy a binder a size up in order to bind with less back pain and etc; i found personally that spectrum's sizes run a little larger than other brands, so if you wear an XL normally from GC2B or underworks, the Spectrum XL will be a little looser and more comfortable, while the 2XL will be too large to be useful as a binder.
i also have a brand new swimming binder from underworks that i never ended up using because of the pandemic. i paid almost 70£ for it and would appreciate some amount of money for it if possible, but i won't pressure anyone and i won't ask directly, but if you can afford a few quid for it i'd be thankful.
do reblog/share with friends if you know someone who might want them!
Hi I’m very short on money and I physically cannot take on more hours. If you can please help a black disabled guy survive the pandemic.

Someone made an engagement map for TERF tweets
Y’all in the notes please be mindful when you say stuff like “it’s time to kill the British.” The people suffering the most from British transphobia are....British trans people.
^^^^^ for serious. British trans folks rarely get to transition at all, and when they don't they're often denied any social transition period. TERFs in the UK aren't here to start laws against people in America, they're trying and succeeding to kill off trans people in the UK. This really isn't the situation to cram on the brits to look and feel better about yourself... the trans body count is tremendous over there. Please have some respect for the people actually effected.
Please do keep this in mind. As much as I find the anti-British memes funny, this is a genuine issue in the UK.
I’m a trans man in the UK, I’ve been on the waiting list to be diagnosed for just over 2 years now, and am expected to wait around another 2 years before I get my first appointment (if the wait time doesn’t increase). I will then wait around 2 more years (at the very least) for my second appointment, and if I’m very lucky and am diagnosed in that appointment (which is not guaranteed in the slightest), I’ll enter another waiting list to access healthcare. The service I’m in is considered around average. There are people waiting 6 years for their first appointment in other services, so I am incredibly lucky with my supportive family (in that I haven’t been kicked out or abused, parents still don’t respect pronouns or name) and I have good friends who respect me, as well as only waiting 4 years for a first appointment.
Maybe you could go private if you had the money, right? Go a similar route to trans people in the US? A diagnosis from a private practice can be rejected by your General Practitioner, and any referral you get for hormones or surgery can be completely dismissed, because you weren’t diagnosed by an NHS practice. You would likely have to go entirely private, which is not possible for thousands of trans people who rely on the NHS. This is an issue within the NHS and a completely lack of funding and training for trans healthcare, resulting in horrifically long wait time and difficult to access help, especially given doctors and surgeons have and are having their practices shut down because they aren’t considered proper by the NHS, despite being one of very very few who commit to this kind of work.
The transphobia in the UK runs far deeper than just tweets, and combining the aggressively transphobic attitude of a large portion of the population with the lack of healthcare due to wait times and difficulties with funding, you set up an incredibly difficult and dangerous position for trans people. Maybe this sounds like a bunch of complaints and nothing to people in the US, but people here are dying as a result of this. Please do keep this in mind when making anti-UK memes surrounding specifically transphobia.
also, our wait times for HRT have gone up to 6 years through the NHS.
^ a clarification, the state of trans healthcare is far more down to how the process is set up than funding. I had an entire appointment where they only asked me about my dead dads. I've had another being interrogated on my hobbies. One appointment was an hour of me being told to get a job.
Aside from totally wasting resources, clinics are also required to make trans people jump through unnecessary hoops and frequently add their own restrictions like "making nb people wait an additional 6 months" or "not allowing parents to transition". Looking like you havent medically transitioned will also get you turned down for medically transitioning, as will making any attempt to medically transition without their approval. Some clinics require you to be in work, some require you to not have sex or relationships, some require you to have sex and relationships. I went to one clinic where the fact that I wore clothes from the men's section was used as evidence that I am not transmasc. And god forbid you be ok with the fact that T will give you body hair, that just means you arent taling it seriously.
Honestly I have little doubt saying that their IS enough funding if the NHS moved to an informed consent model and that wait lists would drop to a few months. As it is people are just wasting time and money to be told no and then we jump on to the next waiting list so everyone else just starting out has to wait longer.
This has never been about money, it is about hurting and controlling us.
We would rather nobody buy any Frito-Lay products, Fritos, Doritos, Tostitos, Funyuns, Cheetos, all those, while we’re on strike. We make all of those in Topeka, Kansas. We also would rather nobody buys PepsiCo products while we’re on the line. PepsiCo is the owner of Frito-Lay.
