If I ever stop posting here, know that someone either killed me or I died suddenly from some medical condition.
I’m so sorry, Jehanne. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be targeted by so much hate simply for existing. Fuck. Those. Assholes.
Probably Christians, too.
I appreciate your comments, but, I've reached the point in life where I pretty much don't care. For instance, I was working at the site of a new restaurant this morning and some women employees were going out of their way to call me, "Sir", while another employee, a male, may have thought that I was a biological female, because, he offered to carry garbage out for me, as it was snowing. The manager also referred to me as "Dawn", even though I had never met him before.
When people try to refer to me using male pronouns, I have this embarrassed grin on my face, completely autonomic. I think that it causes them more awkwardness than it does me.
At least people at this new restaurant will have something to talk about today, as my work was completed around noon.
