anu72's journey

I started my job less than a month ago, and I've recently faced a troubling situation. During closing duties last Wednesday, while chatting with my store manager and lead about RuPaul's Drag Race, the manager launched into a rant about transgender people. They made derogatory remarks about a trans woman who frequents our store. I was horrified, especially since I'm a trans person myself, although they didn't know that. I was in shock and didn't speak up at the time, but I regret not saying anything. The next day, I texted the district manager to submit my resignation and explained the situation. He called me today, assured me that what happened was unacceptable, and said he would escalate the issue to HR. He also mentioned that I could transfer to another store, but I'm hesitant. The manager at my old store has a good relationship with the manager at the potential new store, and I'm concerned about my safety and whether word might get around about my situation. I'm torn between accepting the transfer or resigning completely. Any advice would be appreciated.
