Misgendering at Olive Garden

"Me: muttering Mom please stop misgendering me

Mom: Kylie shut the fuck up you're 14 years old now tell the lady what the fuck you want to eat"

... Because misgendering someone is funny, and he magically stops being a guy based on his age. It's just a phase, clearly.

I'd also like to point out we're making fun of someone's frustrated- most /probably/ imaginary- ranting, which likely stemmed in the first place from anger over his mother being transphobic towards him, at the very least (calling him Kylie, telling him that we've talked about this- don't tell people you're a guy?). But obviously he's just a crazy tumblr person with no actual troubles in the world- being trans and dealing with transphobia isn't hard. It's completely unreasonable to get upset and lash out on the one place you can.

Also, as a transman, yes, it would be completely ridiculous to yell at a waitress who potentially has no idea. But A- we have no context, this waitress may have very well been told and continued to ignore it. Denial and guilt trips are an amazing thing. B- hell if /I/ haven't lashed out in my head at people when I was younger, even if I /never/ would in real life, because, no, obviously they haven't done anything wrong. But being misgendered constantly and forced to hide yourself over years and years out of fear gets a little annoying, at times. It happens. You get a little resentful, even if you don't mean to.
