Join me for a little thought experiment: What does misgendering feel like?
Whether that's using the wrong pronouns or referring to you with certain gendered words like sister or lady or gentleman or dude, which can be a contentious one. I understand there are Californians exist, but yes, I wanted to talk about this and try and get maybe to emphasize a little or just have a little, like, thought experiment with me. A very short one. Okay. Take the gender you are. Now let's say you're a woman. And I mean, obviously translate this

Obviously, mine is slightly similar to how you described some of your experiences in regards to the fact that I identify as non binary. My pronouns are also there them. And I agree it makes me feel uncomfortable when people misgender me when it's a slip, but because it's a slip, especially if the person then corrects themselves and apologizes. I'm more uncomfortable because I'm like, oh, it just feels like she her pronouns don't feel right

And because I didn't take any time to comprehend it, I didn't have any time to relate to it because I think maybe if I really try to understand them and their gender, then maybe I would have been closer to finding mine sooner and understanding myself a bit better sooner. So the fact that you're coming here and trying to learn and stuff is fantastic
