Share your recent "TMW" moments with me!
Doesn't have to be trans related, mine today just were.
Mine today was:
TMW you answer a knock on the door, and the German guy says "Hello sir," pauses, looks hard, and incorrectly corrects himself, "er... ma'am." You cant decide whether to uncorrect him or not, and then your OIC walks in so you can't anyway.
And then about two hours later... TMW you almost accidentally out yourself at work. An NCO asked the office to explain what gender non-binary meant, and since you're the token liberal, you're naturally the first to answer and go into this really long winded explanation about it, and at the end you say "but I'm not going to pretend to know everything, 'cause I'm not non-binary..." and barely stop yourself before "...I'm just trans," slips out. I'm 90% sure I almost had a heart attack when I realized what I was about to say a mili-second before it came out.
