Well I was at church and i was dressed up in green with makeup, a boy called me a Leprechaun (which was partly true) but his little sister called me a girl she said to her brother "no, look she's all dressed up for a party"  I pointed at her and said "see she knows what she's talking about" it was fun, I think I am just starting to approach the possibly androgynous stage which is great for me.

But even more interesting was I got an email from someone I sent a letter to about food in Oakland and I got a reply that said "Dear Ms. Strickalator" LOL I got a kick out of it.

So something positive at the end of the day today also.

Take heart from what the girl said. Little kids tend to spout out exactly what's on their minds, and if they view you as male, they'll often say so, or they'll ask what gender you are. That the girl didn't misgender or gender-question you means you clearly passed to her! These moments are small, but they can mean a lot. Hold onto them if you have doubts about how you look.

yeah im guessing that is true, the boy called me a boy though. I also now remember a friend using both pronouns which is actually true for me in my case. I still think I look mostly male , but even at my therapist today I was told I look nice and different.  :o
