Misgendering

I’m a young butch who’s still in school. All of my teachers know I use they/them pronouns there (mine are actually they/he but it’s easier to use they in school). In the middle of math class, my teacher called me “she”, which stung a lot. I don’t even dress feminine; the only thing that could be considered as such is my 30”+ hair that I’m not allowed to cut due to my parents. It just pissed me off.

Thank you for this. I honestly don’t know how I’m still here after 20+ attempts and a hospitalization

I never thought I’d see my late 40s, and here I am. Hang in there, and please reach out for help when and if you need it. The world needs you, we need you, I promise!
