the thing that really grinds my goat is when people who haven't known you that long decided your gender & pronouns without asking, and then when you correct them they're like "oh it's so difficult for me :(" you haven't known me for five minutes how are you having difficulty? would you say the same thing if I said "actually everyone calls me [nickname]" I bet you wouldn't but because you assigned me a gender you are apparently incapable of erasing that from your head?

#this is a call-out for both my colleagues and ex roommates #all of whom I've been clear from the get-go that I use they/them #but oh nooo it's to hard for me :(#like I didn't have to overcome the same shit?#like. do you think Im like those babies that ended up bleating like sheep? that I was completely separated from society?#I was raised in this society too #I had to learn to use they/them pronouns as well #it really ain't that fucking difficult #especially if you barely know a person #maybe if you didn't gender strangers in your head automatically you wouldn't have this issue #but even so!!! if I've told you I'm nonbinary it's not that fucking hard #heraclean task #I only barely give my parents benefit of the doubt #and they've known me since I was born #get better or die #also @ my parents tho I have been out to you for four years and you STILL haven't improved I am tired
