I have a deathly hallows tattoo I got long before JKR became known as a transphobe.
I am in no way transphobic.
Someone I have to work with has made comments a couple of times now. The first time, they just said that loads of people are getting that covered up now, and I brushed it off saying "oh, that seems a bit extreme" or something and that was that.
I thought that would be the end of it, but a few weeks later they've brought it up again, saying it's the most blacked out tattoo ever. I was a bit fed up and said "it's not as if it's a swastika" and they said "it pretty much is".
AIBU to be upset about this still being discussed? They are entitled to their opinion but it's not exactly something I can change overnight, I can't afford to get a cover-up, and now I'm mortified that everyone thinks I'm a bigot / basically a nazi apparently. I could possibly get some make-up to cover it while I save up if it's genuinely disgustingly offensive to people?
I do generally get on well with this person, it's just this one thing that's been not so good.
