i used to be really anxious when that happened but i don't have to question myself anymore

how often are you misgendered?

legitimate question: what do you want to do when people make "did u just assume my gender?" jokes?

I'm cis, never seen a trans person say that sentence, and any time I hear it I want to beat the living shit out of whoever made the joke not bc bigotry but bc STOP SAYING THE SAME JOKE OVER AND OVER GODDAMNIT

i think it's funny too XD

i also love when people make fun of how many genders there are now lol even though i respect all genders

actually even though i'm never mis-gendered anymore some of my old files still have my old name like the voting place so i get really defensive when they still have the old name i used to use

also every once in awhile i get mail from my old name and i feel threatened if that's the right word and i rip the letter in two and throw it away

they're really nice and people who are transgender don't have to worry about which bathroom to use and feel comfortable

i think every single place with a restroom should have a gender neutral bathroom in addition to the women's and men's bathroom

yeah it feels like my entire existence is being attacked
