Man, this sucks. I was all excited, got dressed in my best clothes to go meet with a group of people. I put on my best sportsbra. That's all I have right now. I NEED a binder, especially after today. I never realized how much i want to be recognized as a male until today, until I heard myself be referred to as a woman for the first time in at least a week.
See, I haven't been called sir out in public, but nobody has been "miss" and "ma'am"ing me either. So, anyway on to today. I go in all excited to meet people and for some reason I'm deluded enough to think they'll consider me a man. Walk in and one of the members says to the only other guy there before me "oh, looks like you're the only man so far". It hit me like a ton of bricks, really stopped me cold.
Not to mention the fact that the rest of the time when i said something they would look to my chest. If only those "things" weren't there. Why couldn't they just ASK me, instead of freaking staring at my chest.
I've been doing so great, but I'm not gonna let this get me down. I am gonna use it as a motivational tool, and another step in the right direction.
but... UGH.
