For a while, I was a burlesque dancer as a fun little side gig. In my daytime life, I’m an accountant.
One day I was talking to someone on a non-work related Slack. I told them I’m an accountant and they asked me where they could find my OnlyFans page. That’s the day I learned a lot of SWs tell people that they are accountants. This misconception happens all the time now. I’ve started saying “I’m an accountant. That’s not code for anything. I really am just a regular accountant.”
SWs wouldn’t need to do this if we treated them better. I get why the community chose accountant as a faux title. It has made me talking about my work very awkward and creepy.
