I can second getting ma'am'd and young lady'd and other stuff like that. It makes me cringe or titch when I don't know how correcting the person will go over.
Having to use a woman's restroom is always a *Sigh, hope no-one else is in there* sort of thing. I don't get why girls talk to each other there.
Same goes for their "times" -- why do they want to talk about that? Just--
Really? Then there are the people who don't take you seriously. I have one friend like this, whom I haven't exactly come out to yet, but haven't exactly been quiet about it. This conversation happens every now and then, and it gets to me.
"[Given Name] you're such a girl!" "I'm not a girl." "Shut up~ Yes you are!" "[Name], I'm not a [freaking] girl."
And then the person who will always call me by my given name because she says that's who I am. I can kind of understand this, because I do consider my given name to be important to me, but by all means am I changing it, and it doesn't really fit me as a person.
As non-binary, being able to wear the clothes I want and still be taken for what I am. Just because I wear the occasionally really feminine outfit doesn't mean I'm a chick or that my appearance the rest of the time automatically doesn't matter.
My chest. Gods, my chest. As much as I'm uncomfortable in it, there are times when I don't think I would mind it
as much if it weren't an exclusively female thing. Or if it were, say, A and I could fit into things better without wanting to bind (only one cup down, but still).
Having rather crappy lungs and an overly sensitive torso,
anything that wraps around my chest/ribs is going to cause discomfort and breathing issues.
Not finding clothes that fit, or at least fit
well, that are in the men's section.
Being barely 5' tall. Apparently being petite is a good thing for women? I'm hoping that, if I do ever happen to start T within the next few years, I'll still be close enough to puberty to get an extra inch or two, at least.
To add with that, missing out on a growth spurt
at all. It's like I rolled life's dice and lost a turn.
Skeletal and muscle issues. Only my legs have a lot of strength in them, and my arms are weak as heck. Also issues with the dispersion of body fat, having wide-ish hips, aforementioned height...
Having teams for guys/girls in sports. Also, as a general gripe, in high school women's football was called Power Puff Football. Because apparently the concept of women playing football needed to have a fittingly ridiculous name. *Rolls eyes*
Training my voice to get low and still be able to speak naturally, only to have it get higher as start I forgetting to maintain it while talking, then not wanting to use certain vocabulary because it's primarily used by women of gay males.
The whole "Ladies first" thing. Guh. It's even worse that the people who've told me that, so far, were trying to be nice. Kind of hard to put them down for that.
