about passing

[Michael Joseph]

now that i pass a good amount of time, i feel like when i dont pass or people refuse to call me the right pronouns or name i get a lot more angry/upset than i used to and it just puts me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. anyone else feel this way?

When this happens to me it's 'worse' now because it makes me feel like "well why do I bother!? Why do I pay all this money for my T, go throught the hassels of changing details/names, the pain, the emotions and the discomfort of binding etc" if people are still going to get it wrong!!

And that makes me angrier (like a big cycle of pissed off) - that I would ever question why I'm on this path, because I genuinely don't regret a single moment! It's an unfortunate reminder to me that I am not the man I should have been, had I been born in the correct body in the first place..

I think I momentarily lose sight of the fact that I am on this journey for me.

I'm not on T yet but I always figure when I am and someone gives me the wrong pronoun I'd just look at them like they'e retarded, like most people do when someone says the wrong pronoun. My girlfriend once got "Sir"ed by a bus driver and she looks nothing like a guy at all, she was just wearing a winter coat and a toque. I dunno, people get mixed up with cisgender people as well ...
