Was at a store. Complimented a girl on her nails, we got to talking a bit. My pronouns got brought up because of my They/Them pin.
She laughed in my face. Like gut busting laughter, can't speak or breathe, falling to the floor kind of laughing.
I know how lucky, and frankly privileged, I am to not get this kind of reaction on a regular basis. I know. It's been Years since something like this happened.
Doesn't make it sting any less.
Doesn't make walking out of the store crying any less embarrassing.
