I could just see my employer offering like 4 grand to get an out of state abortion.
Me. Uh, boss? I need to go to Vegas to get an abortion.
Boss: wait. Your wife is pregnant? Isn’t she like 60?
Me: no, not her. ME! And don’t tell her I’m going to vegas.
Boss: you’re not going to Vegas! You’re a dude: you can’t get pregnant.
Me: did you just misgender me?
Boss: are you claiming you’re trans now? Even if you were, and even if a trans woman could get pregnant, YOU’RE TOO OLD!
Me: wait. Did you just age shame me?
Boss: AAAAAGGGHHH. Okay. Fine. I’ll tell you what. You go to HR and if you can convince them you’re pregnant, and that you need an abortion IN VEGAS I’ll approve your time off. If they say yes to that, they deserve it. Have at it. Good luck.
