Me and my mom went to the mall to order me a new phone today. When we sat down the the guy that works there we just talked about what phone I want to get, how much we're ready to pay etc. I didn't talk much, I'm not good at socialising in puplic. All of a sudden he used "he" to refer to me. I was so confused, this has never happened before. It took me a few seconds to understand that he meant me. Thoughts rushed through my head: "Wait, what? He? Me? Did I just pass as a guy? Without a binder? In a very feminine jacket? Whaaaaaat? I like this guy, he's cool. Can you tell my mom I'm a guy please?" And a smile spread on my face. My mom "corrected" him and said "No, she." but I don't care. I passed for basically the first time ever! Whooooo! Plus, now I have my new phone ordered and delicious frozen yoghurt in my stomach.
I know the feeling! The first time I was referred to as a boy in public was amazing. But I'd get really pissed off if my mom corrected them (though, I'm hoping she knows better)
That's nice I used to get nervous when I passed around my mom because I was worried she would say something but she never did luckily. It's weird I usually don't pass, but the last time I did I was actually not dressed very masculinely (I ran out of good clothes to pass in and I ended up passing better :lol
Last time this happened for me was ... 3 months ago? I don't leave my house much to be fair though xD
*high fives* Congrats! It's always a good feeling when you pass! It used to happen to me a lot when I was younger because I looked more androgynous than I do now (I still get the occasional "ma'am" from customers at work which makes me beam but they usually correct themselves afterwards QwQ oh well, a moment of glory is better than none) I know it feels like a million times better than when someone who knows you are trans uses the proper pronoun because they didn't have to be told! I'm glad you finally got to experience this! ^^
Yeah go you! Must have felt awesome! I can't wait to get a binder and my hair cut! 1 more week until I'm in Canada for the holidays and it's happening! Then! Hopefully! I can start trying to pass! XD Although about a month ago I went for a walk with a baggy hoodie and this old man walking his dog passed me twice and kept looking at me like..."what are you...?" and that felt good too. :3
