Hey so I’m ftm ,24, I work in a hospital environment that being said I feel like I pass quite well. Starting the job I barely had any facial hair but over the months T has done its thing.
I get the occasional misgendering, which I correct lowkey,as in pull the person aside never coming out just correction, since I feel very uncomfortable talking about that with people who see me a few times a week.
But today I got into a little convo w a rep and once I told them I would not be joining what he was there promoting, I had clocked out for my lunch and continued leaving after saying “sorry but I need ti attend work that day! “
Coming back from said break I was told that in the break room once I had stepped out the rep asked for my bar and one of the ladies said “oh HER name is __” and gave a girl version of my name ,one of the guys stepped in and said oh no HIS name is just _
Which to she said oh idk that’s what they call him!
But that didn’t sit right with me so I went and told her that what she did wasn’t okay ,not only rattling me out to the rep but misgendering me and not even addressing me right trying to throw me under the bus. But as well as the girl who told me kept saying the deadname and when I would tell her that’s not my name at all legally or ever she was like idk idk!?
Am I being extra? Or am I right being annoyed at this ? I deal with a lot already here and that extra layer of frustration is not what I need . I don’t ever post on here, I just listen to my morning AITA podcast and hit inspired!
