Given the Choice
Someone wrote…
People try to be polite and not comment on my binder; but given the choice, I’d rather they talked awkwardly about my binder than ignoring my gender completely.
What’s your experience?

Ditto. With everything gender-related in my life at the moment. I’ve told people to ask questions if they need/want to, but so far, nothing. I’m trying to give them time, but boy do I know how you feel. (Gender-related pun not intended…)

oh geez, YES. my family’s been pretending that nothing ever happened since I came out, and they’ve kept up with the ‘she’ business despite multiple polite requests. bluh. I would LOVE awkward questions/comments!

Yep, same here. I’d rather (and gladly!) answer questions that people have than pretend my identity doesn’t exist. Because really, how can you pretend that another human being doesn’t exist?
