trans people talk about the sad reality of being misgendered and the cis person who misgendered them being manipulatively over apologetic but a less talked about reality i experience even more than that is truly heartbreaking: the person denying they misgendered you
the only thing that might be worse is when i say “it’s he, i’m a he” people start to *look* really hard at me and i’ve even been asked “wheres your moustache then” or “how am i supposed to know”. like yea im dying tonight thanks
