1)"You wanna fight" "yeah sure, when and where"[knowing that I could easily win] "No, i don't fight girls"
!()*%@#)SDKLFJOI!U@(# %!~!!!!!!!!!!
For ->-bleeped-<-s sake. You wanted to. Now that I'm taking you seriously you back out? 

2) the "let me get that for you".
God. I don't have the best upper body strength, but I can carry 25 freaking pounds. Easily. Stop patronizing me.

3) Gym teacher, "No you can't go with the boys class. [Yes I did give the option to choose, but] Not enough girls want to go over"
!$#@ Come on, you don't see that I'm NOT happy in the girls class, and when the classes are mixed I actually DO something? God. I'm taking lifetime next year,despite it being pratically not a gym class. guaranteed coed at least.

4) any feminine terms of endearment. "sweety", "chica"[no, i don't live in a heavly spanish area either. wtf?], "darling", "girlfriend".
I'll deal with 'beautiful' from my boyfriend [yeah... i thought i was straight too. Long story] because I know how he means it. But otherwise, I am NOT your darling ->-bleeped-<- OFF before I knock your head off, kthx.

5) last, but certainly not least.
"you've got .... for a girl"
I'd like to kill  everyone who makes this comment.

It always feels wrong when they carry something or hold the door open for me. I know men do it out of respect more than thinking I'm too weak but still. Then there's always the times my dad or other men feel the need to wrap their hand around my scrawny arms, is grabbing my limbs that irrestible?

I remember back in highschool we had to do as many push ups as we can and our partner had to count. My partner was this huge guy, 6'+ I think training for the marines or something but I did as many push ups as him. I don't think he expected that from a 105 pound girl but it felt good.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets miffed if someone assumes I'm not strong enough to carry something. Although, I will say that this happens very rarely; I haven't had anyone outright tell me I could not carry something that was heavy, I just get defensive if someone says "We need a few strong guys to carry these boxes". Or, "We need a tall guy to grab this thing up here".

I'll be realistic--I'm really strong, but only really strong for a female-bodied person. I'm stronger than your average guy who does not bother to exercise, though. I despise this sexual dimorphism, I work so hard to be strong and it's barely adequate. I'm so thankful that T is going to correct this.

I loathe "ma'am" and "miss" being directed at me. I despise it when I have to fill out a form on paper or online and they have a section for 'salutation' and they only offerings are "Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Dr.". Years before I knew I was trans, I would avoid filling out this part because I hated how it would pigeonhole me. Recently, when my bank became another bank they sent me a new debit card and embossed in front of my name was 'Ms.', which was not there on my previous card. I nearly had an apoplectic fit.

"want to be a guy"
"if you were born male"
"a real guy"
"you aren't strong enough"
"drag king"
Anything that refers to "hips" even if I know the person is referring to male hips.
I could go on.

Haha! I know, eh?

There are so many things directed to men about their looks, it's just very subtle in comparison to women. If men didn't care how they looked, some of them wouldn't pick on the 'ugly' or funny looking kids for example.

I don't get angry when someone holds the door open for me never have and never will. I hold the door open for everyone regardless of gender, I do it out of respect I don't want anyone shutting the door in my face.

If someone flipped out cause I held the for open for them Id be like I guess it's that time of month eh.

Where I live, that's common for both genders.

It's the same where I am too.

Again, same here.

That makes sense I'd get pissed too if someone held the door and said ladies first. Although me and my friends joke about that stuff.  If someone is 15 ft away I'd wait for em.

Once I held the door open at the theatre for pretty much everyone in line behind me (nearly the whole theater after a movie had finished)... I can be a bit of a compulsive door opener, perhaps.

Lol in feel ya V. Those doors are so tempting.
