One of the problems with being trans is being misgendered. I get it now and again and if you go down the transitioning road so will you!

Irrespective of which way you transition, male to female or a female to male transgender, people will either misrepresent your pronouns or use them against you.

Whether they do this accidentally or maliciously is for you to decide.

Let’s take a day last week and someone I’ve known for years is talking to me.

They’ve seen me transition from day one and they call me “he”.

I corrected them straight away and low and behold they do it again and again and again.

It annoyed me so much that I walked away from them and haven’t spoken to them since.

I am pretty sure they were doing this to impress the others in the room and assert themselves or they did it to piss me off.

The latter was accomplished.

I don’t get misgendered very often but if people do it now I just walk away from those people and don’t engage with them anymore.

The last thing I expected though was to be misgendered by a friend!
