Not sure how to insert a read more on mobile so this post about my personal experiences with transphobia and ableisn will be in the tags only 👍
#there was this teacher in middle school who I had for two days due to like a station rotation activity with my actual teacher
#and when i was in middle school i mostly passed as a boy
#but im afab and was just using she her pronouns. essentially presenting myself to the world as a gender nonconforming cis girl.
#i was aware and comfortable with the fact that my gender was more fucked up than that but i wasnt out for a variety of reasons anyways
#i digress
#this teacher refused to call me by my name (the name my parents gave me. on my birth certificate) or use she/her pronouns for me
#she called me he and it and told me i wasn't fooling anyone with this nonsense
#multiple students - one of which consistently bullied me - corrected her on my gender and pronouns and she wouldn't listen
#she even complained to my actual teacher in front of me and referred to me as 'that thing'
#and this was humiliating and it was scary but more than anything it was exhausting bc by this point I was very accustomed
#to being misgendered and dehumanized by my peers it didnt even strike me as particularly concerning that this person in authority was
#so blatantly bent on this path
#and to be fair i was dehumanized by other people in authority but usually for my autism not my gender. that was more my peers
#anyways. i just found she died last August
#and I'm like really struggling with feelings of guilt because I'm honestly a little glad she's dear
#dead*
#even though I only had those few interactions with her
#anyways
#i was in the same year as her grandaughter. and i know what its like to lose a family member you love
#who is deeply flawed
#and i know she was important to a lot of disadvantaged kids
#whatever. it doesn't matter really how I feel. it's not like I have to talk to anybody who knew her ever again
#tw ableism
#tw transphobia
#if you read all that you deserve some kind of award
