DAE (does anyone else) Not Like Being Called He & Sir?
—are you misgendered frequently in public?
To be fair, I'm very tall & I have short hair, & don't wear much hyper-femme clothing or makeup.
Though I work in a customer service environment & it still can be dysphoric when I get called "sir."
Does anyone else with masc haircuts get misgendered regularly, or am I just unlucky?
Thanks y'all. 🏳️🌈💗

Thank you all for commenting; it's comforting that I'm not alone here. I guess I will need to learn to accept it. 🫶
In a way, seeing that this is so common in the community makes me feel less hurt by it, & more accepting/neutral about it. 💗
I hate it so much. It makes me deeply angry. I wish people could get their heads out of their asses and find another polite term that isn't gendered.
Like, I get that it's a thing that was drilled into people of certain cultures. But everyone should be able to recognize when something that you thought was polite is actually rude.

So far, I have a decorative cutlass that needs to be hung up on my wall, a blunted training sabre, a wooden sword club of unknown origin (got it from a neighbor when he went to a retirement home) and a set of daggers that were gifted to my grandparents by a West African army officer. My next purchase is going to be a Scottish broadswords, but I dropped a bunch of money on safety gear, so a new sword will have to wait.
