I’m a lawyer. I am regularly asked if I am the court reporter. No shade on court reporters, as they perform vital functions for the court system and are some of the most professional people I work with. It would just be nice if no one made assumptions about my role.

I was an artist for Ubisoft for almost 7 years and anytime I wear my dev merch 100% of the time someone would look at my husband and ask what games he worked on. Every time.

When I was a young engineer and would go out in the field with my boss others would look at me and say to my boss, why’d you bring your secretary?

When I started my career as a veterinarian, people thought I was a vet tech. I’ve seen my male support staff get immediately treated as if they are the DVM.

This happened to me in my 3rd year of medical school. I corrected the patient and they didn’t care and continued to call me nurse.

I work for a financial company as an assistant. My husband does not work for them. We were at a company event where he was my +1. People kept asking him which office he worked out of.
