ugh ok also i just need to rant

so it's father's day, and i was going to a fancy lunch with the rest of my family... which means dressing up. I managed to avoid wearing a dress, but I still had to wear a skirt.

We get to the restaurant, and the entire time it was sooo painful hearing 'young woman' 'madame' 'miss' 'lady' 'girl'

UGH and that triggered my dysphoria. i hate holidays now, they've been ruined for me

I'm sorry.

This has really made me think about how I address strangers. It is hard for me to overcome decades of "ma'am" and "sir," because it just pops out. I'm working on it, though, and I really try to be conscious of what I say.

Yeah it took a while for me to get used to calling people they in my head as well

Where I stumble with strangers is in phrases like, "Excuse me, ma'am/sir." I need to think about it and just say, "Excuse me."

Something happened at work that made me want to laugh. There was this older woman(60s? 70s?) that asked me about my mask. I said it was for Pride Month and after she asked about the colors, I explained it was the Lesbian flag. Another older woman in the line gave me quite the look.
All I could think was 'Lady give that look all you want, it ain't going to do anything'
That lady was very quiet the whole time I was checking her items out and even after she was leaving.

I told this to the manager on duty as I knew that her son was gay and she thought it was funny too.

Doesn't bother me anymore. Main reason my signature is what it is.

I find that arguing with ignorant or biased people is my daily comedic source. Because they have no real evidence, they keep repeating the same arguments which make no sense and are so stupid it's funny

 

[KikiDeAnime]

It'll be funny if that lady shops again tomorrow since I have to work tomorrow as well.
