Left job interview feeling fucking humiliatedTransphobia (

Im 18 year old trans man who lives in florida. My birthday was last June, and
the only reason I'm not on T is because Ron Desantis made it fucking hell to get testosterone and things are only clearing up now.
Ive been trying to get a job lately, and the only place that's gotten back to me so far is Chic Fil A. I know they're homophobic, but it was my mom and my queer cousins first job and I assumed it was a franchise and not an individual store thing. Do not victim blame me over this, I just wanted the money.
I did great on the phone interview, and was scheduled to interview in person. This is my first ever in person interview.
I told the manager my name, and informed her politely I'm transgender and asked if I should include my Birthname. She ended up telling me that "LEGALLY" She had to refer to me as my "REALNAME" and that it would be on my nametag and that everyone would have to call me that.
I was absolutely shocked and bombed the rest of my interview- looking away and stuttering and shit.
Im home now...I've mostly calmed down but thats just fucking crazy to me.
I guess its a minor win that she didnt know i was trans until i told her, but what the hell. Legally my ass.
