On friday some guy I know walked up to me. "You're a guy?" "Yes" "Which makes your boyfriend gay?" "Yes." "But you can't be a guy, you have a girly face, and a girly voice and boobs and just look like a girl" As soon as he walked off I just started crying.
I'm sorry that happened to you! (*hug*) People can be real jerks sometimes. :dry: I bet he was just jealous of your hair!
That sucks. I hate it when people say things like that. Yesterday I got called "lady". I wanted to scream "I'm not a fucking lady!" And I was using a binder, my chest was completely flat. Which brings me to.. The douchebag said he saw boobs? I suggest using a binder. Breasts are an instant giveaway of (unfortunately) having a female body.
I do have a binder. I just thought my 'friend' would respect me enough to know that just because I have boobs it doesn't make me a girl. I was with friends I felt safe and comfortable around, so my dysphoria wasn't bad. ---------- Post added 21st Sep 2014 at 06:15 PM ---------- He knew me last year, before I came out, got my binder and started transitioning though.
People are assholes. Someone said something catty like that about my fiance "if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck; it's a duck" in response to him being a femme.
Some folks are just very ignorant and love to stir the pot and aggravate people for some bewildering, extremely pathetic reason. I'm sorry that happened to you, but I'm glad that you have supportive friends to help back you up. (*hug*)
I would definitely be pissed off if I was in your situation. Unfortunatly, there will always be people out there, ignorant and disrespectful. The best thing to do is just keep pushing forward despite them. Stay strong man.(*hug*)
