It feels so suffocating to have to out myself in order to not be misgendered. I thought I was secure enough in my identity but here I am crying after I got misgendered at work today.

I legit stood there for 15 minutes after it happened thinking of how to correct her whilst fighting the urge to cry.

Yet I know tomorrow probably wont be different because I still wont have the courage to say the simple sentence

"I am a man".

I wish I could just exist without being perceived the wrong way.

I feel like all the cis people I talk to will never understand how much this sucks.
