Dear BBC
I write in
response to your recent career advertisement. I am a disabled Nigerian female
currently transitioning from a male body. People tell me I am physically
attractive despite my height-to-weight ratio of 4’6’’ and 20 stone. Bigoted and
prejudiced potential employers consider this a drawback, owing mainly to my
inability to actually get out of bed of a morning. This “fat-shaming” has
severely impacted on my mental well-being as I am sure you can imagine! I
possess all my own teeth and a garishly framed copy of my degree in Voodoo and
media-studies from Lagos University – which is certainly not a forgery I hasten
to add! My friends advise me the BBC is an equal opportunities employer seeking
to further their diverse work force, so I would like to apply for the post of
financial controller if I may. I won’t actually be able to attend an interview
in person of course, but rest assured I am more than capable of running the
show via a lap-top perched on a cushioned bed tray! I do hope you will drop
round for a chat about this, and would only add one further strand of diversity
into the equation – which is my political leanings toward Donald Trump and
capitalism. I’m sure such truly diverse employees are under-represented within
the BBC so I expect to hear a positive response from you in the very near
future!
Yours
Sincerely
Mzz Abimbo
Mbezla.
