    Similar experience for my first time having they/them pronouns used IRL… I was mountain biking in full body armor, full face helmet, and goggles. Someone said to their kid, “let them go ahead, they’ll be really fast,” or something. I proceeded to hit 48km/h on singletrack, a speed I haven’t replicated since. So I guess I was given a speed boost by the comment?

    A trans woman I know was quietly thrilled when she was out with her girlfriend and some bogan pieces of shit drove by and yelled “Lezzies!” from their car

    Obviously pissed off, but any silver lining…

    Edited to trans woman from transwoman because terminology is different in different places, and lemmy is still basically 'Murican

    Don’t punch an ally, people. If my original post made you think I’m one of the pricks, then you’re playing into the hands of those would divide us to destroy us

    Wait til someone tells you they find you they/them attractive, someone who isn’t attracted to your birth assignment. I swear this happened to me over just two months ago now and I still haven’t fully recovered. All I can think about now is how to get back to that place of peace and desire and validation.

    I want everyone to feel that, it’s life-changing

    I know this a joke and everything but somewhat serious comment that this post triggered in my mind. Am I the only dude who gets called she/her folks catch me from behind cause of my hair? Like it’s kinda stopped because of my current jacket, but c’mon I’m built like Thorkell the talls vertically challenged cousin from the Hebrides.
