I can't stand being called sir and ya people here know the real truth why. Transgender, my brain is a girl and how sir doesnt like apply to me.
I however make up the excuse to not tell the real truth. True part is that hearing me referred to as sir is honestly like hearing nails on a chalkboard and yes it is painful. The lie becomes when I use the excuse that it makes me feel overly important. That's the part that isnt true. I use it cause it's a believable excuse but it sucks to hide in a part lie. I do it for when it bugs me, I have a reason but it's either people ask a billion questions and look at me funny or I just seem to have an odd quirk pet peeve about me is all.
I have many of these halftruths to cover up my trans girl thinking but it does bug me when I tell an excuse I know is untrue instead of the truth. I dont know if other transgender people do this kinda thing to avoid having to say not being accepted for one. It all can be tough emotionally for me.
