one example of this is when i was on call and this guy was like “oh ur the only female active here” and i was like “what about (transfem friend)?” and he was like “with all due respect i meant biological females” so i came out as transfem bc i was pissed
irl i present stealth (like i present as a cis girl) and it feels like i’m between a rock and a hard place. on one hand im glad because i can finally be seen as a girl after years of bullying. on the other hand i wish i could be more authentic to myself.
