Most trans people or androgynous people are used to getting misgendered and pretty chill about it.
So don’t think this experience is the norm. If you actually had this experience.

No I'm sorry but such a story is impossible... People have much better things to do with their lives than to dwell on such nonsense, try a more convincing story next time 1 reply
That person was wayyy too sensitive. Lowkey, you were someone they didn't even know, (same goes with you, you don't know them) and it's not like everyone knows to ask about pronouns before referring to others as either she/her, he/him, or they/them. It took me a really long time, but now I just refer to others as they/them at the first meeting be...... reply
getting older comes with a lot of anxiety and worries about it. you're not stupid or underdeveloped, you're in uni which proves you're smart. you got this! try not to get too caught up in the past, you're gonna find even better opportunities that make you grateful to have grown up (image unrelated i just think its a really funny image) 1 reply

And I know it sounds stupid cause technically I'm 19 and not quite "old" yet, but I feel like I'm at a turning point right now. Like something is changing. I don't know. I hated being a kid cause I had a rough upbringing, but I'm clinging to the past like a lifeline. It's pathetic, but I feel like I have no more excuses for how underdeveloped and how stupid I still feel now.
so, to be clear pronouns have nothing to do with sexuality it’s in relation to gender so kinda weird that ur friend called u homophobic cuz u accidentally assumed someone’s gender,, and tbh it’s not really your fault because the stranger was probably already somewhat aware that they present more masculine (even if they don’t identify as a ...... reply
