Hi Jake,I’m self-employed and recently took a job as a personal assistant to a woman who works in the entertainment industry.

It’s been about four months and she and I have developed a good working relationship, although sometimes she can be a little much.For the most part, she treats me with respect, and claims to be very liberal/open-minded and an LGBTQ+ ally.

I think she believes this, but there have been a few times now where she’s made off-handed comments that I’m not sure how to take.For instance, she likes to refer to herself as a “f*g hag” and doesn’t seem to know that the phrase went out of fashion a while ago.

She’s also said that she “doesn’t get” the whole “they/them” pronouns thing and she’s made passé jokes about bisexuals not being “real.” But what bothers me most is when she calls me “princess”.
