@atax1a hm, I can't image what reason you could possibly have had to be discontent

@jenniferplusplus imagine being a type of guy that complains about us, in front of us, during the team retros, that we aren't making "enough" eye contact during meetings

@jenniferplusplus dude would walk past our desk and give us a casual fistbump on the shoulder. while we were hands-on-keyboard-and-headphones-in working. eventually had to snap at him "can you stop touching me without permission"
this was like a year before we transitioned btw

@atax1a @jenniferplusplus The next meeting, did you stare directly into his eyes, with a gaze piercing deep into his soul, until he turned and ran from the room?
Sadly management rarely seems to approve of such things.

@scunneen no, we had a different kind of "management would not approve" experience — a week later we went to the gay bathhouse over the lunch hour, and negotiated a guy into our room and into bottoming for us, with nothing but eye contact.
relating that story in a work situation is impossible
