    One aspect of the old workplace situation might bear some consideration. Making a complaint or whatever, is the effect such has on the person that treated you so badly. Not a personal effect, but on the formal record. This makes it more possible for future employees of that person to have some warning of what that person has done before and might do again. So it’s harder for the nasty person to say “I’m not the nasty person, it was them over there”. One could call this an act of charity rather than being vindictive. Legal advice sounds like a good starting point to me.

      Pretty soon I’ll have the final paperwork sorted, so I’ll phone the lgbtqia+ legal service for advice as well. The nightclub industry is rife with illegal behaviour. The culture of sexual harassment is gross and I brought it up with them many times and their failure to do anything emboldened a staff member to harass and sexually assault me. It wasn’t a particularly bad assault but I’ll also likely report that to police as it was the crux of all the issues and thier reluctance to take it seriously was a terrible lack of due process. While that didn’t happen at work, it happened immediately after in my car, when I was giving them a fucking lift home. Also most the bullshit happened after I came out as trans.
