Forever thinking about that one tweet: “lowkey non-binary but I’m at work so I can’t deal with that right now” (or something like that) because I’m lowkey genderfluid but I’m in school so whatever. I only sometimes wanna cry when I get called a girl

real like i’ve tried it and existing as a nonbinary person is just too much work it only bothers me a little bit when people call me a girl so it’s not that big of a deal

Yeah like I’m nb but I’m in the south so… I’d rather be misgendered than get fired 🤷

I have a friend who has offered the classic solution of “wear different colored bracelets depending on your identity for the day” and yes that’ll work but I think it’ll make me feel worse when people who know get it wrong (as opposed to now they don’t know unless explicitly told) and also it’s been so long since I actually thought day to day how I felt idk if I want to put that much effort into it. I will survive 4 years

this is just my personal experience as someone who went from a school where everyone respected my pronouns to dropping out and living at home+working a job where no one did— it takes a toll that you might not fully realize rn but will slowly break u down until u snap lol

No it’s okay I’m also mentally ill. It’s just. Sorry if this is tmi but I don’t really have a chest that I can conceal very well and also I don’t dress very masculine in the summer (all my shorts show off my hips and also the chest area is its own issue still) and so I get referred to as a girl constantly. It doesn’t bother me too much but it still does sometimes

yeah omg trust me i feel you. DD+ ppl unite🫡 it’s something to learn to live with but it sucks that we have to do that. for me it was a culmination of things that lead to crisis but being called the wrong pronouns surely Did Not Help + i go by my last name with friends so going by my very feminine first name with everyone again also definitely sucked. i just urge you to take care of yourself and do your best to reach+hang out with people who respect you for you
