Coming out is something you have to do every single day. Here are some cringeworthy moments I deal with regularly
- Checking into rooms with my girlfriend: having to explain that we booked a room with one bed because we’re TOGETHER. Even had a lady try and sneakily put us in a room with singles but there were already people in there. Then she went “oh here’s the key”... yeah that wasn’t fun
- Constantly being assumed to be sisters: People think it’s so funny that we’re not sisters haha yeah we look so similar so funny we get this almost every day it’s TIRING! Having to be polite to those idiots while working too
- Doctors: recently my girlfriend went on the pill because she’s got really bad cramps and I’ve been on it for years so I was taking her to the doctor and helping her with that process. Every step of the way was GP’s and chemists being incredibly confused about the contraceptive being used as anything other than birth control, female doctors thinking she should toughen up (male doctors are actually way more sympathetic) and not understanding that she’s not having sex with men cause we’re together. Also spending ages looking for a GP who wasn’t incredibly weird about us being together (settled on a lovely young Asian man) and every time we have to see someone else it’s always “is this your sister?” Like do sisters go to the doctor together???? I never go to the doctor with my sister that’s weird
This shit is getting tiring yo can straight people stop being such fucking idiots thank you
