It might work in getting ahead in a career, but you've gotta find an outlet to express those emotions instead of suppressing them your whole life. Not doing that will lead to a lot of trouble in the future.

I feel ya. I hate going to any government place for documents because people can do shit like that and get away with it and there's no legal protections for trans people in my state.

Those bureaucrats weld a lot of power and can make life hell if they so choose. You probably did the wise thing and bit your tongue as long as you got what you needed to get done. You likely won't have to deal with her again for a very long time (if ever again).

On the other hand, if there are discrimination protections in your state for trans people you could file a complaint against her.

I try to be as cis passing as possible most of the time. If I don't feel like I'm passing I isolate. Still in the process of getting all of the physical effects of transitioning and it's exhausting and physically uncomfortable to conceal certain body parts but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

Got misgendered today for the first time in a while. For some damn reason I change my voice between girl or man completely subconsciously depending on the person I meet. I think it's a safeguard against potential transphobia or something because it's 100% not intentional. I fuckin hate it. Subconscious cues or some shit to protect myself in my small ass rural southern town where everybody knows my family or is related to me somehow (I'm moving in September, thank God. The person who misgendered me I'd never met but knew my family). I'm sensitive AF to that kind of stuff and want to avoid it as much as possible (of course, while consuming transphobic media so that I can prepare myself for every possible thing).

I feel such an aversion to talking about being trans to anyone irl because I'm afraid they'll potentially be transphobic or view me differently. Feels embarrassing, shameful on some level because of the culture I was raised in and the media I consumed.

Me?? Is that you???

Do you have any friends or relatives who could give you a ride to a safer place? You also should look for shelters in neighboring states if you can't find someone to stay with or a shelter in your state. First part is getting a ride to where you need to go.

Hey Riikka. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with this shit. Just hang in there and try to keep a level head (it's really really hard, I know).

Please keep us updated. We are ALL rooting for you. Once you get to safety you can try and crowdfund some money to cover basic costs.

Have an escape plan. Reach out to friends or relatives who you think would let you stay.

I don't even remember, funnily enough. It was a slow process that happened over time.
