Frustration

[Nygeel]

There's a mixture of things going on. I know I talk a lot about being frustrated, fed up, and angry about getting misgendered so often but it is really frustrating. I know that in general I feel more frustrated or unable to find the language to describe how I feel at certain moments. I don't do anything physically to "release" the tension but I can physically feel a build up where as longer ago I let things roll off me. Maybe it's a combination of wanting to stand up for myself when I didn't before and knowing I am physically different without others seeing it.

Has anybody else felt similar? Similar meaning an increased frustration or new found inability to explain yourself.

And also... seriously...what the frack on getting misgendered on the daily.

Well I feel very frustrated at it, but since I am pre-T, there isn't much I can do about it. I make up for it I guess by being *more* more assertive than I used to be. I've started pitching my voice lower which makes me happy. I think lately if I haven't passed, I think quite a lot of people aren't too sure what I am. I am not sure I mean to genderf*** but if they are going to misgender me I intend to continue with it.

The whole thing has definitely made me more confident than I used to be.
