So I’m mid transition in that “middle phase” and my workplace has just been an absolute shit show. I get misgendered daily even though I’ve been out for months and pass in 85% of scenarios, because my coworkers truly don’t give a shit. Like I’ve come out to them multiple times, explained my pronouns corrected them all while being kind, and doing my best not to be “aggressive” or rude…for months ! Nothing close to respect from any of them.

What hurt the most today was something that happened with my coworker who I considered a friend. Someone made a joke about him being one of their “daddies” (these stupid boys I work with love to joke about themselves being gay and use the term “daddy” synonymously with “boyfriend”) and he was like “oh hey ! You can’t call me that, you can only call my name that !”

And that was just my last straw. Like I came out to this coworker first, because I thought he’d understand and be cool about it but he misgenders me more than anyone, not even maliciously, which makes it honestly kinda worse ? Like just tell me you think I’m a man, okay ? Stop fucking around with me like that. I’m not a daddy because I’m. Not. A. Fucking. Man.

Anyway, I’m leaving this work environment soon because of ongoing sexual and aforementioned verbal harassment. So, I know I’ll be in a better place, and soon.

I’m just so over it. Like you can spill your guts, heart and soul to someone and they genuinely won’t give a fuck.

Anyway, girlies…I’m tired, thanks for reading this far if you did and I wish you so much love and peace.

Be well 🩷🩷🩷
