I guess I should call it something.

I JUST GOT SIRRED.

By my CompSci teacher.   Referred to me as ‘he’ at a glance.

…Of course, then I looked up and she went, “—Er, she.”  BUT STILL.

STILL!

(I was already feeling pretty good about myself today but heeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy.)

Dear, I’ve told you—if you actually ask her, she’ll switch. Out of every professor that’s been supportive, she’s actually probably at the top of the list as far as my personal experience goes.

This was my experience for about a year and a half - people couldn’t get the pronouns worth shit. However, wait a year and people will be more likely to look at the attendance sheet and think there’s an error. (“Why do they have you listed as male, dear?” “I keep asking them to fix it, but if you could correct it in your roll that’d be awesome.” Done and did.)

Two and a half years down the road I’ve gotten to the point that people actually let their guard down and make nasty jokes about trans folk around me - which while humiliating gives me a chance to smack them down and say “You’ll never know when you meet or befriend a trans person.” Most times, they don’t even consider putting two and two together.

Have faith - this is a passing phase. (Do I get bonus points for the pun?)
