Overhearing conversations where people are gendering you correctly...

[Ms Grace]

I have a webcomic and came out to my readers and fellow cartoonists some 16 months ago to much support - which was awesome. Last night I found a site that was discussing some of my work (positively too, I might add!! ) and they were referring to me as she. It's the little things in life that can really make a difference. I wasn't in need of an ego boost or a positive reaffirmation... but every little one of them helps. Store them up for later when you might need them, I always say.

Overheard (or read) any conversations about yourself lately?

I'm thinking of getting one of those ultra sensitive listening devices , I get back to you on that.

Lol when people use the wrong pronoun and me I began to use the wrong pronoun on them  love the feeling when people get it right, especially when they don't think your around. that spells acceptance to me

No, i'm not really sure i want to be listening to people talking about me that think i'm not around, i hate to say it but they can barely gender me correctly to my face

For the last 2 nights in a row I had cops refer to e as ma'am. Yester day I was sitting in an 24 hr. Subway sandwich shop and a city cop walked buy me and said how you doing ma'am. Then in the same shop tonight a University cop referred to me as ma'am. I guess the hormones are working.

Yup, they are! But... isn't there way too much cops in Your daily life?

With my voice fixed now it's an automatic "she" from everyone... I could not be happier.

Yesterday I went out to town and was presenting male as usual and while I was in line at the craft store to buy some paints, a little girl and her grandma were talking about Dora the Explorer and how only babies watch it(the little girl was probably 8 or 9 but I'm bad with estimating ages) and anyway, the grandma was telling the girl that when she was  a baby, all she would watch was Dore the Explorer. It was a funny conversation and the little girl was hilarious, so I kept smirking or laughing lightly at their conversation since they were literally like 5 inches in front of me and the little girl looked at me a few times, then looked at her grandma and was like:

'/Gramma/.... I can't tell if he's a kid or not!'

It made my day and eased all anxiety that I had up until then! I'm pre everything, so the girl being unsure of my age(I look like an 18 year old female but like a 14 year old male... SO...) but being certain I was a boy made me happy =)
