#non-binary issues

[punkgeekcryptid]

Everyday the kiddos I work with ask me if I'm a girl or a boy and I tell them I'm a person so that they hopefully don't view the world in a cishet light. But it kills me at the same time because everyone there calls me Ms. but some of the kiddos stick up for me and tell the others I'm a boy and in my head I'm just like you have no idea how much I appreciate you.

*for a reference this is what I wore to work yesterday and this is my grandparents bathroom cause they got the cool mirrors*

Yesterday a waiter called me “sir”

and then hid behind his notepad in embarrassment when he realized I was female. I couldn’t have been more tickled - I was smiling for a good five minutes. That’s never happened to me before, so far as I can remember. It seems short hair and baggy shirts really do go a long way towards giving a more androgynous impression. 

I only passed for half a second, but I feel very affirmed. I normally am very effeminate, but I don’t always like being labeled a woman, because it makes me feel as if that’s all people see me as, with no hint of any other gender. I’m going to keep trying for ambiguity now, knowing that I can, in fact, do that.

so the app i use for tracking my periods recently sent out an email with advice for trans and non-binary people who get periods and struggle with gender dysphoria because of it! if you think this kind of app would be useful for you and you want one which is (to the best of my knowledge) inclusive for all gender identities, perhaps ‘Clue’ would be a good option?

here’s the link to the page on gender dysphoria and periods shown above: https://medium.com/clued-in/gender-dysphoria-and-your-cycle-5c9922bad7ef

Troubles at H&M

Friends: Wouldn't it be so cute if we all picked out outfits for you?

Me: Why?

Friends: Because you're so little! It would be so cute!

Me: Guys, we're grown ass adults, I'm not doing it.

Friends: You're so boring!

Me: You're going to try and put me in a dress aren't you?

Friends:... maybe....
