Let her move into the spare bedroom and become a dependent. Claim this on your taxes.
Pay her to do what she can and claim this as an expense.
File your tax return and claim it all back.
This is free money.
Make sure your dependant housekeeper has a profit share arrangement.
Absolutely. I was born overseas and am a white, middle aged, middle class man. The amount of racism that is spewed into my ear because I look “Australian” is horrific.
One of the few regrets I have in life is that it took me years to be brave enough to call it out as it happens.
Edit: deleted my standalone comment because it was supposed to reply to this one
That is fucked up, and it’s absolutely shitty that you had to deal with that. My parents are the same sort of people. ( which is part of why I don’t talk to them).
You need to know: if it wasn’t this, they would still find a way to be cunts. Trans is seen as an easy target, particularly with the republicans in power. If it wasn’t this, there would be something.
This is the hard part: they want you to feel bad. It is their sole purpose in interacting with you. How you feel, only you have control over.
I tend to brutal rudeness when interacting with people like this, using language they don’t tolerate, and being personal about it.
That won’t work for everyone, and be mindful that law enforcement will back granny sour cunt over you, but be rude, be loud, embarrass them, because that’s what they are trying to do to you
No such thing as doesn’t pass. You tell me you’re a woman? Who the fuck am I to question what you feel in your bones?
In the spirit of the republicans making shit up to disenfranchise, I hereby declare that you pass. As whatever the fuck you want, whenever the fuck you want to.
