Is my job being transphobic towards me?

So when I got hired on I didn't tell them I was transitioning. I told them I had rotator cuff issues and I wouldn't be able to preform some tasks. They said it was no problem. After i came out as trans they wanted me to sandblast for 8 to 10 hours a day. It involves me holding a hose upright that sprays 90 lbs worth of pressure and I have to stand in a weird angle to do it. I can't do it for 30 mins without being in excruciating pain much less 8 to 10 hours a day. Everyone who has been told to sandblast refuses to do it and they're not being forced to provide documentation for an accommodation. Others have straight up quit because of how painful it is to do and the room you have to do it in isn't well ventilated. When it comes…

Everyone who has been told to sandblast refuses to do it and they're not being forced to provide documentation for an accommodation. Others have straight up quit because of how painful it is to do and the room you have to do it in isn't well ventilated.

When it comes to me I'm having to jump through hoops to get my doctor to fill out an accommodation for me through some 3rd party company. I have to get this done in 15 days. My doctor is normally booked up for 3 months at a time and I told them this and they said they didn't care.

They don't make cishet women do this job EVER. Excuses like “oh I'm too little” or “I'm not strong enough” is absolutely acceptable. They don't make anyone who don't want to do this go through the bs I'm having to go through.

This is the second time they've given me some bullshit over something since I came out and they LITERALLY don't do this to anyone else.

I feel like they want me to quit and im being targeted for being trans. And if they have to they'll physically harm me to do it they will. I could be wrong but that's what it feels like because of how they treat other people compared to me. Also I just want to add most of the people I work with are conservative and at this point I'm not feeling very welcomed.
