So I couldn't fall asleep last night until 3 AM had to be up at 6 am for a final exam for my hardest class. I wake up to the coldest morning of the year so far and thought it would be a great day. Boy was I wrong. My mom gets stuck in traffic giving me a ride so I am late by 20 mins. I get to the testing center and it had opened 20 minutes before that. I am told, after being ma'amed by security 20 times even after telling them it was sir, to go to a certain room. I find the room, they sign me up, then tell me the guards should have sent me to the office first to pay. I walk back, start to walk into the office, then hear "ma'am, ma'am, miss?" Mind you my chest is completely flat, the hadn't seen my name, I'm wearing the most masculine clothes I own, and had already corrected them. I didn't realize they were talking to me so I continue into the office and am yanked back by my sweatshirt. The guard had literally grabbed it! He yanked hard enough that I started to fall backward but thank god I caught myself. After calling me a chick for the billionth time he tells me to wait. I wait an hour for the woman to be ready which according to the guards was supposed to be ready at 8. At around 9:30 I finally go in. She calls me a chick again but she saw my ID so I just politely corrected her which she ignored then took my cash, was rude, and I finally got to work on my exam. Throughout the test I see that my book puts GID on the same page as transvestic fetishism. I think there is nothing wrong with that mind you, I have my own kinks so I don't judge, I just think that is not the right place for it. If your opinion is different, I'm curious to hear it of course :) So I end up focused on that, got a 75 on a test I studied over a week straight for, then got into it with my mom over something stupid. We aren't fighting anymore though and tonight is my trans meeting so I'm in a better mood now after venting. Thanks for reading :)
That sounds like one hell of a day.
Those guards were on a wind up from what I can tell.
That's a drag, man. Bummer. Hey, s--t happens, right? Tomorrow's another day. Hang in there. Better days are ahead for you. They really are. EVERYBODY has days like this. Just keep on truckin' and it'll get way better. It really will.
Hi Alexander,
Sounds like you discovered a turkey roost. Maybe the guards were just trying to more macho and small brained than each other.
The good thing about a horrible event like that is it makes the good times better. And gives you stories to share with friends- including us.
Hope it gets better, and you have a nice friendly open face in your avatar, I reckon you will pass really well as a good looking guy. Just takes time. Don't we all know it
Cindy
Damn that's so mean!! :( hopefully it doesn't happen often!!
Thanks everyone :) Made me smile to read the responses and see that ya'll care :) I probably could have handled it better. Might have been a good opportunity to explain transgender people to them while I was waiting. Classes are over now and I will just most likely find another place to take my exams when I have to again.
@Britney- I hope so too but thinking back on it, it could've been worse
@Cindy- Thanks :D I hope so
@Lacey Lynne- thanks for the encouraging words :)
@Spacial- I agree, they were. I thought about reporting them, if I have to go back there and it happens again I will but I'm going to try to find another place to take exams and avoid that place from now on
It could have been worse but it still sucks. Just try not to let little things get you down! Even though I'm the last person to say this haha
Some days just suck, but it always helps to rant some. Here's hoping the rest of your week is great.
DX I'm sorry all that happened. It'll be better tomorrow.
