Over Christmas I decided to wear my blood red nail polish in public for the first time. Though I regularly wear clear or pearl I have never worn the red but encouraged by only good comments I persisted. This week, armed with a copy of my employers Dress Code, I wore it to work. I was ready to have to argue the policy as well as EEO standards and...noone has even commented!! I can't believe it! the only possible case they could make is that it MAY bring the organization into disrepute but I was going to argue that in fact it shows it in a good light as encouraging diversity and positive images of acceptance of difference etc. ( They are a major disabilities service provider.)<\/p>\n
I am coming to terms that the World just isn't that hostile to me and that people just don't give a shit!1 Though I did front two 19 year olds who laughed at me leeringly at the shops a few weeks ago and then I felt silly to have reacted aggressively to them. They kept walking though so I did not have to get physical with their rude behaviour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","topic-tag":[],"class_list":["post-2179","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/2179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/2179\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic-tag?post=2179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
