Pretty meh so far, at least until tonight before I got off work: shortly before closing, I had an asshole come up, buy some cigarettes (I work at a gas station), and then and only then after having finished his transaction, turns to me and says, “Just so you know, there’re only two genders.”
I responded with, “Just so you know, I don’t care.” and then he flipped me the bird without even looking at me as he was walking away.
This is not the first time this has happened to me, and I try to put on a tough face to these dick-waffles, but honestly, it still hurt me and I hate how I’m emotionally vulnerable to it, even if I don’t show it to them. :(
Edit: Hooooly SHIT. The dude just came by today and apologized for his behavior.
I accepted it gratefully and gracefully but godDAMN was I not expecting that. I am…so confused. I am happy…but confused.
It would be great to have a bag of rainbow or trans pride colored gummy candy dicks, so you can tell them to eat a dick (and have some on hand for them!)
Venting to the internet got you an apology from an asshole, quick, complain about not getting a raise before your luck runs out! 🤯
I bet the guy wasn’t sober when he did that. He probably still thinks that way – alcohol doesn’t make people lie, it makes them far too honest – but realized the next day that the way he had acted was screwed up.
A cat girl dmed me and offered cuddles :3
Thinking about going back to therapy because my flashbacks/anxiety attacks have been through the roof the past week. The meds I’m on have been great for my anxiety generally, I just haven’t been able to find a reliable way to shut down the prolonged adrenaline surges and the fear sweats (ew).
I feel pretty good despite all that, which is part of why I know the meds are still working; instead of spiraling when I start panicking I’m just going ‘damn this sucks’ and cuddling my cat and/or husband. Annoyingly knowing that doesn’t fix the panic!
I joined a dancing class!
I got blood work done and will hopefully get a referral for HRT :3
Getting blood work done would be both terrifying and exciting for me; family medical history has numerous heritable issues and I’m not sure I want to find out if I’ve got some. History of diabetes and a VERY wide variety of heart and blood pressure issues, sleep apnea, degenerative joint and muscle issues, etc
