A guy I worked with used the T slur today and I was like “you know that’s a slur, right?” you know I gave him the benefit of the doubt because some people don’t know and he was totally apathetic about it.
I mean I’m not surprised because he’s like that about everything but then they started talking about it and the manager that was there was talking about how her friend tried explaining to her everything trans people like to be called and pronouns and stuff but she didn’t get it.
I them they both agreed that they get like if they want to be a he or she and that was it and I just kinda whispered “well, I’m non-binary but yeah” I don’t think they heard me.
It’s really hard trying to come out to people I mean jesus I even wore my shirt yesterday that was the check boxes that had “male” “female” and “no” with no being checked and having the non-binary flag on it. I really don’t think anyone caught on or not.
Kinda just wanna stand on a counter and yell “I AM NOT A BOY. I AM NOT A GIRL. PLEASE DO NOT REFER TO ME AS SUCH” I mean I won’t, but it’d be nice if I could, or even if the world was in a state where I could be like I’m non-binary please respect that and people would.
