#god like it really is just so exhausting living as a trans woman. ljke i live in a very progressive city in a very progressive state and so #i dont get maliciously misgendered all that much but like. okay. i occasionally work at star parties on campus and talk to people that come #by about space and the stars and such. i never get gendered properly while doing it and that exhausts me but i continue doing it because i #love doing those star parties. last time i did it i was misgendered by so many people constantly the whple night and one of my friends #accidentally misgendered me bc she mistook me for the dude who normally runs that telescope. on the way back from the star party i make #a joke and say tht she is straight - forgetting that she isnt straight (i mistook her for one of our other friends) - and she hasnt let #that shit go and its so bullshit. i was constantly misgendered by people i AM constantly misgendered by people becuase i know its often #more work to correct them than to just be pleasant and “let it slide” and yet she is the one who cant drop the fact that i got her non #straightness mixed up with a friend (ive known both for less than like 2 months) and just. god. im just constantly fucking fighting a losin #battle that gets more exhausting ny the days even as i continue to pass better and its just so tiring #and i never know when im being pandered to just fuck i hate it
