Omg I just had the most adorable reference question.
A high school aged girl came up to the reference desk asking for a test prep book on mathematics. I got up to retrieve it for her and she said āwow I love your shoes, where did you get them?ā
āOh, thank you. I canāt remember the name actually, but I ordered them online from a place that sells more masculine shoes in my size, because I can never find any in stores.ā
Then she lights up and starts describing an outfit sheās putting together for a dance, and lists off that she has the āmore masculine looking dress pantsā a button up, suspenders. She just needs some good dress shoes. She tells me āeveryone keeps saying I should wear heels with it but... no, Iām not that kind of girlā
And so I get the book for her and tell her Iāll treat her question about the shoes as a reference question and look up the website for her. Sheās very excited by this and tells me that when sheās tried on menās shoes they donāt fit right.
Then she tells me that āI look at you and Iām thinking damn I would wear her styleā then stops herself and asks āis it okay that I used her pronouns about you?ā And I was like yeah! I go by they and she pronouns.
And then she was smiling and left with her math book and website for shoes.
Extremely adorable baby butch. I hope she has a great time at the dance.
