Lol, I got misgendered on Friday, by my new care coordinator from the MH team. She came to the door and said ‘hello sir.’ I had to stop myself from laughing because I wanted to shout ‘it’s maam,’ and kick the tumble drier. Obviously I didn’t, nor did I call her phobic, accuse her of a literal violence or threaten to have her sacked,she realised her error, apologised and looked a bit embarrassed so I just smiled and let her in.
Not very brave and stunning of me I know, and I’d do exactly the same if it ever happens again. I’m still not feeling erased or dehumanised two days later.
