its so weird but i meet so few people irl with my (english) name that i genuinely forget my name is gendered. and it literally is, there's no doubt about it, but i just. forget. cuz my name to me is just me. so honestly it works
#on the other hand i get jumpscared when i meet people with my name#it still freaks me out no matter what because i've maybe met 3 people in my life with the same name#2?#i met someone at a store's customer service w the same name#but i didnt notice at first#and their coworker went (shouting from behind me) “[name] can you...” blah blah blah#and i almost shat my pants cuz i was like how the FUCK does she know my name#and then i saw the other customer service person's name tag like thank GOD
