# when people misgender me

#whenpeoplemisgenderme it's for all of us* who get misgendered (more or less often). you can use it to vent, let go, criticize and explain. please support the usage for intersectional matters. the (n)etiquette should be: no racism, sexism, trans(*)phobia, lookism, classism, etc…

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Me the Boeing AH-64 Apache It seems like you are mixing up sexual preference and gender identity. But since I’m noone to discriminate, I’ll just post your submission to the wrong platform “just for the fun of it”.

Some guy on the street the other day misgendered me as a "little Bird" and I rained down hellfire pods down on them.

Hallo! Wie ersetze oder vermeide ich Wörter wie "Bruder", "Schwester", "er", "sie", und so weiter? Kannst du mir Tipps zum Umdenken geben? Danke!

Hi!Anstelle von Bruder/Schwester würde ich Geschwister nehmen und anstelle von den Pronomen sind Namen super. Oder aber mit etwas Übung die Sätze anders formulieren, z.B. im Passiv. Ansonsten gibt es hier noch viele gute Beispiele:http://geschicktgendern.de/

hey! so if you have a classmate or coworker who is referred to by a traditionally feminine name by their friends, but on their social media uses a traditionally masculine name (that is fairly similar to the female one), which name would you use to refer to them? and which pronoun? would it be rude to ask the person what they prefer? currently i'm just referring to the person by the name they use at work/school and avoiding any use of pronouns. is that ok too?

hey!the best answer can only be given by the person themself unfortunatley. so i would recommend to ask by being open about you having two different informations about them. i guess, they have pretty good reasons for using different names in different context. so my advice would be: ask them politely and until you get an answer: use the name, they use themself depending on the context. please be careful not to out them without consent. the avoiding of a pronoun is pretty smart and well thought of you. best!wpmm

deadnaming: Is an act of violence. It endangers the safety and privacy of a lot of trans-(gender/sexual), agender and gender non-conforming people.

I'm genderfluid, and for the most part, my mother is completely chill and accepting of this. Except she almost never gets my pronouns right at all. I confronted her about it, and it seemed to really upset her, which also really upset me both because I upset her and because it feels a lot like she thinks it's fine to use whatever pronouns she so desires for me. I know I shouldn't be so hard on her, but is there anything else I can do about this matter which most likely won't upset her?

Hey you,do you have a common sense of humor? I once saw somebody using a water-sprayer/pistol-thingy everytime a friend misgendered them. Like you use on cats. They both were fine with this method. Or you could simply misgender her back - that works for some...But other than that - you did explain that this is important to you and she is hurting you every time she doesn’t get it right - so she already knows - she shouldn’t be the one who’s upset or the fuzz is about. It’s about you. And not hurting you (anymore). It’s also about being correct and treating you right and respectfully. Like she wants for herself...Good luck - I keep you in my thoughts!<3

Entrance at a big conference we entered to “take a visit” this afternoon

Vor kurzem (7.10.): Störaktion & -performance mit “Dr. Gliedfasser”

(Just lately, 10th of october: Disturbance action and -performance with “Dr. Dickgrab”)

Highlight: Eine von uns wurde auf dieser Veranstaltung der Antidiskriminierungsstelle mehrfach von einem Mitveranstalter und Träger des Hausrechts diskriminiert (Bezeichnung im falschen Geschlecht, auch nach wiederholter Richtigstellung und Aufforderung, dies zu unterlassen!!) und anschließend wurden wir körperlich attackiert. Niemand half uns, stattdessen drohte eine Gruppe von Besuchenden uns mit der Polizei und solidarisierte sich tatkräftig mit dem Täter!!!

Die Störaktion hat also Wirkung gezeigt…

(Highlight: At this event of the German Federal Bureau of Antidiscrimination some of us got first discriminated several times by a joint organiser who had the householder´s rights (even after beeing corrected and told to stop that immediately!!), then physically attacked. No one was helping us, instead a group of visitors threatened us to call the police and were actively supporting the offender!!!

So the disturbance action made an impact…)

I'm afraid that when I go back to school the teachers won't do anything to stop them. What can I do? 2/2

Hey you, it sounds like you have friends in school. that’s good, maybe they like to support you and talk to the people who talk behind your back? maybe there’s also a counselor at your school? you could talk to? or a teacher you trust? if not, you might look for an lgbt-center in your area to get support. and/or continue doing what you just did, looking for help online, that’s very good!

which employee of antidiskriminierungsstelle des bundes misgendered you? sorry to hear that. kind regards, an intern at ADS

it was an anonymous submission.

[mis-gender]

when employees of the "antidiskriminierungsstelle des bundes" misgender you on "der fachtagung zur rechtlichen situation von trans* und intergeschlechtlichen menschen" repeatedly even after being corrected, it shows how much they care.
