Been getting misgendered so often lately I'm thinking about misgendering them right back to see how they like it ( Read more... )

In a message to someone I hadn't talked to since high school (but not someone *from* my high school or town, it's an old online friend) I included this as part of my message, LOL: "A lot has changed. I'm a girl now. Well I always was but I wasn't out about it at the time ( Read more... )

Some people have dreams where they can't find a working bathroom or can't find a bathroom that isn't full, which is a sign from their bodies that they need to use the facilities.

Some guy coming up from behind me with a friend of his makes a comment about something on my purse, misgendering me as "he." I corrected him, telling him I am a 'she,' not a 'he.'

"You're also missing the point of otherkin: it doesn't matter if otherkin people really *are* what we identify as, anymore than it matters if transgender people really *are* what they identify as.
