PSA to cis folks: We know you fuck up other cis people’s pronouns all the time. There are a massive amount of you, accidental misgendering happens, it’s just a numbers game. When it does, you correct yourselves and move on.
We know you can do this successfully.
So when you fuck it up for #trans people, we notice. We’re not mad because you fucked up our pronouns.
We’re mad because we know you know how to fix it and make it not a big deal and get pronouns correct in the future, and you do it for each other, but not for us.

Mom, Late 30s. Home Cook. Queer disaster. This is my main, because it’s where I talk about important things like being trans, parenting, doing trans stuff, cooking, trans topics, and how cute you all are! 😍🏳️⚧️🥰💜
I do Data Engineering in exchange for money, but find me over at [@willow_datawitch](https://hachyderm.io/@willow_datawitch ) if that’s your jam.
Please interact with words, not just boosts and favorites, if you would like to follow me. I appreciate your button clicks! But I need words for vibe checks.
Since I may as well spell it out for the world, I enjoy compliments from folks I already interact with, but for clarity, that’s as far as it’s going, and it’s a strictly 18+, women-and-trans-folks-only activity.
I think joy is way more important than I was taught in school.

Aaaahhhhhhh did my shot 🥰
TFW you are about to say the whitest thing ever and then you sit back are like, huh. Maybe rethink that. And then you don’t say that thing.
It’s not much, but hey. I’m a work in progress.
My #OutreachToTheCis today was chatting with a grandmother about my life for a few minutes, wearing trans pride colors and describing the joy, but also the pain of losing touch with part of the extended family after I transitioned. She was traveling with her daughters and granddaughters, and she briefly introduced me all around.
Get yourself a girl who demonstrates consistent, sustained, and unresentful respect for your boundaries.
If you are new around here, remember: you can just try a new name. New pronouns. No one checks IDs at the door.
Hey remember how in Mistborn the big bad could change words written anywhere except your memory and carved in a couple materials?
That feels weirdly prescient.

@Willow you and me both, girl!
Yeah, I know the rules (and origins of the rules) better than most people I've met because I'm a linguist. But als...
