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
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
