dysphoria, misgendering
- yesterday a coworker, when directing a user to me, referred to me as "that gentleman". He knows that I'm trans but I guess he forgot
- last Thursday, while out shopping, someone asked me if I knew where some produce was. They saw me from behind and called me "miss" but when I turned around they spent like 10 minutes continuing to apologise for calling me miss despite me trying to brush the whole thing off
Frustrated. Hate being perceived as male.

People are dumb, inconsiderate and so self-absorbed, they don't take that extra moment to look and consider. I'm sorry *squeezes tight*

@renbymon It gets better. It takes time even for loved ones and allies to train their brains.
Unless you think it was intentional. In which case fuck that guy.
