    I’m autistic, trans and chronically ill.

    Do you have gluten free food in the cafeteria? I can’t have more than 4 people around me at any given time. Where’s the toilet for non gendered people?

    Should just about do it I suppose.

    Sit down, look at the picture of the (child aged) daughter of the person interviewing you, and ask if she’s single.

    Fart into my cupped hand while making (and not breaking eye contact) and proceed to “throw” it in the interviewers general direction. (Extra points if you can do this with a straight face)

          I think you should tell me more about this walrus. So you’re saying there’s a lot of junk in the trunk?
