I had to “take my armor off” for my last table and I’m glad I did because I was on roulette. Dealing roulette even with the vest loose was less than ideal

Leather is heavy, yoi

That being said: I got successfully....ah...misgendered properly? XD

I still look very VERY feminine. So when someone calls me by my correct gender by accident it’s still technically misgendering me?

Anyway, I hit a lady’s number on roulette right when I tapped in and she victoriously called me “baby boy”. Which...in hindsight it sounds weird to say that I was ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED

I immediately adjusted my throat to speak more masc and felt very validated in that moment

It wasn’t even an ‘oh shit, sorry’ like I get when people accidentally ‘sir’ me

If she ever realized I wasn’t a dude then she honestly didn’t give a fuck and I won’t be picky about either one

Still. Baby boy sounds so juvenile but in context it was more like. ‘Yeah baby!’ Kind of comment so I refuse to be more than a teeny bit embarrassed about how much I liked it

I’ll take this as proof that the more real world validation I get per my gender, the more I’ll actually ‘respond’ outwardly

And by that I mean shift my weight around, practice my masc vocals, etc

.......anybody want a free hole, freshly dug? I’m gonna shut up now lol

ahhhhh i wouldn't call that misgendering it's so great that she noticed that!

though ow, ten hours of leather

there's very little outside of leisurewear that's tolerable for ten hours + commute honestly

Luckily it was a very removable item lol

Gotta say....taking off the makeup was heartbreaking

Like a very physical feeling of ‘oh....right. There’s that stranger again’

I think if I were wearing a binder instead of Transtape I would have actual dysphoria after taking it off

I’m gonna have to order more. I used most of a roll

But not having to feel a bra has been so nice

My cat shelf is too big to really flatten but I’m A-Okay with that right now, just because i don’t have to deal with actual water bags and their stupid fucking physics

Not to mention bras

Bras are horribly designed to begin with, even for their intended purpose. There's a reason why I only wear them when I leave the house, and for the past two years, it's only been sports bras.

But on that note, not to justify her usage of it and not really knowing the context of her tone, but I have been known to use 'Baby boy' as a term of endearment since I'm normally the oldest in my friends group and I am usually THAT Mom Friend

Still, I am positively DELIGHTED for you in that aspect~
