    The “Sir” people are definitely my biggest pet peeve at the moment.

    It’s understandable, because I’m an enby with a villainously curled moustache, but I see that as an androgynous characteristic. Spending time every morning putting my face on is not a traditionally masculine habit. XD

    I rather enjoy the compliments I get for it, just not the honorifics.

        In some ways, yeah.

        Growing up in Texas in the 90’s didn’t provide a lot of role models for gender diversity. I didn’t meet an openly trans person 'til college. >_<

          Same experience here. I remember this guy sitting next to me once, he was wearing makeup and a dress. Looking back I presume they are enby.

          It’s such a powerful experience, right? You never forget it.

            For sure. A friend of mine in college came out to me as transmasc and that was the last little push I needed to be more open about myself. 😄
