- when someone glances at u and then turns to have another long, long, look - when someone’s face drops when they look at u - “thank u ma'am, oh no it’s okay sir don’t worry, ma'am-” - kids asking their parents why that girl has long hair, why that man’s wearing a dress and then mum shushing them and giving u a look of contempt - announcing that ur gay but everyone’s like “so u like? girls? boys?” - feeling like you’re passing and comfortable until u open ur mouth - ^ someone acting normally around u until u speak and they look at you like Oh - not knowing whether to introduce yourself with Mr or Mrs or Mx because wtf will this person im talking to react like - having ur guardians/parents’ family over and tHe BIg COnFuSioN - a parent who really doesn’t want to tell any of their friends that their “precious son/daughter” is no longer what they were - being looked up and down for a good 10 ten minutes before the person moves on - not being able to breathe for a MINUTE without someone asking you what gender you are what genitals you have why you dress the way you do etc - not being able to “just keep your head down and ignore everyone else” because people want to make it Very Clear that they don’t like whatever’s going on with your gender
