misgendering (+?), conflicted enby sounds
i got called ma'am again today, and it melts my brain, because it's so different. instead of correcting themself when i got closer, the clerk complimented my outfit. i am sO NOT USED TO THIS. it feels nice, even if the gender is wrong.
i though it'd be impossible for me to be seen as not-male, so i just do/wear what i want. it's the earrings, isn't it?
do all of Us Folks go thru this? i've spent all day thinking about a 30-second interaction aaaaaaa

@Oneironott oh my gosh, i would be flattered but feel so weird... i really just want the world to recognize more a/genders, but it's interesting how people try to make sense of nonbinary folks. "box A doesn't quite fit, probably box B. hmm." and if i had the social fortitude, i'd be like, shh shh, i tried for way too long to make that work...
