Not once but twice this month I've felt particularly my(nb)self to the point of sending my best friend a selfies captioned something like 'feeling gender today'. Only to then have multiple strangers refer to me by my assigned gender during the day. I feel hopeless and like I'll never get to my goal: people not being able to tell what I am/feeling like they have to ask how to refer to me. Like if it were just my voice I'd understand, but it was just my look.
Enby here too, and holy shit is that a mood.
I'm almost 8 months into my transition and I feel like I've hit a wall in terms of my public perception. I get the occasional confused glance but it's always "Sir" when it comes to honorifics.
I mean, I get it. One doesn't normally expect an amab enby with AA-cups to want to keep its villainously-curled moustache. But that's always been an effeminate affectation to me and I get compliments on it almost every time I leave the house. I don't want to have to shave it off and pay for electrolysis just to be seen. >_<
I hope that someday you will grace us all with a picture of the legendary villainously-curled mustache
That someday is today~
