bahamxt replied to your post: Iâm six months on hormones [T] and I heard my job...
it is the only thing i have problems with, calling people by their preferred pronoun after someone has introduced them as the other. Idk why but itâs stuck in my brain and i always feel bad cause i always have to correct myself
It is a huge transition. Some people donât have a problem with it and it clicks right away. It clicked for me right away when one of my friends came out as trans several years ago. And others, it takes weeks, months, and sadly sometimes even years for it to click. I struggle big time using âtheyâ pronouns if I already knew you as a âheâ or a âsheâ and feel horrible. A technique I use is repeating my NB friendâs name and saying âtheyâ over and over again so my brain associates x person with âtheyâ pronouns via repetition.Â
Because I know I make those mistakes too, I donât get angry at people misgendering me on accident. My cousins call me he 95 percent of the time, while my aunt still slips up with âsheâ but only when Iâm physically there, so her face association is what messes her up with me esp since sheâs known me 27 years as âsheâ. I know she loves me and supports me and isnât doing it on purpose so Iâm patient with it.
Overall, Iâm deff extremely privilaged as a transgender guy to have my job respect my transitioning and not treat me any differently, as well as my momâs side of the family respecting me too. I donât have to hide anymore and my confidence has shot way up since starting treatment, but even more so with their support. My job knew me as a different name and different gender for about half a year, and my family all my life, so Iâm very happy with the progress thatâs been made.
Especially on the job front because boy Iâve dealt with some shit at other job locations.
