I remember when I read a lot of 'being called sir at the store' as a gender euphoric thing and while I did get that experience when being called 'he/him' etc we generally don't refer to each other as sir/madam here so that specific gender thing I never got
all that preample just to say. I was on the plane and got called sir by an east european man speaking english and. even tho I am 4 years on t and been passing for a long while now I was just like. woag. It was almost like being transported back to being called 'him' for the first time. crazy
#caw#idk how to end posts#like he/him is so normal to me now and ofc it should be#but being called sir its so uncommon it was almost like being called lord#like....#also that post abt at some point transphobia just becomes funny i have double ds the waitress thinks you have dementia grandpa#generally my extended family calls me the right things etc#but my grandpa dropped a she and continued to do so throughout the visit#and i just like. didnt rven really react with anything other than like confusion#everyone treats me so onviously like a cis man that its like. doesnt even occur to me to be upset#like when my long haired cis friends get confused for a woman and they just react with confusion#it was very refreshing to be so far removed from dysphoria#just fully out here living the cis lifestyle hello
