What it means

A screenshot of a text conversation where Allie tells her former boss that she came out as transgender and now uses the name Allie. The boss replies with a mocking joke about identifying as a dog, then doubles down after being called offensive with “Good luck with the job hunting, Woof Woof.” It is shared as an example of transphobic workplace hostility and a reaction to cruel “I identify as…” jokes.
