Ok. I've been having a hard few days. I've been miss'd and madam'd so many times over the last few days I want to scream! It is an overload. I want to say something about it, but I'm always too tongue-tied and scared to do so (I'm not out publicly.) Also, I was talking to someone and they implied I could never do something because I wasn't built like a man (talking about strength.) I argued that it wasn't true, but to no avail. I'm just tired of all this. I don't want to start hormones, but I can't see this ending either. I guess I just need thicker skin. I am tired of the pain. Sorry guys...just needed to vent.
I'm so sorry And To hell with sexist concepts of strength. And down with gendering people on every step. This world is nuts, dude.
Im sorry that happened to you I was just "miss"'d today too. I recently started typing up a list of positive affirmations for myself to read whenever I have intense social dysphoria. One of them I tell myself when I'm feeling bad is "You are manly AF." That helps some of the time for me. Not a complete cure but at least its something. Remember that you are tough and strong too. You're better than all those jerks.
shadowalex is right - you are. My teacher saw me and my mate Dylan (a boy) and called us boys, until she saw me and called us girls. That really annoyed me. “I’m the boy that was born a girl, and has to prove everyday that I’m man enough for this world” You, good sir, are definitely man enough
