You guys probably know what I mean here. Especially my fellow nonbinary people. Coming out again, all day, everyday.

People you meet at work, on the street, new friends, others within the lgbtqa+ community. People constantly assuming your gender and pronouns, then u have to decide whether to correct them and prepare for an unpredictable response or just let it go.

It sucks, like, a lot.

It gets especially bad at work with customers. like my mangers will refer to me as 'he' (which i am okay with and spoke with them about), then that customer will call me 'ma'am' or 'she'. And I have to just grin and bear it or risk an akward confrontation.

Every. Single. Day.

Ya'll have those days? It's not just me right?

Hey Seamster,

it does suck. I identify as binary, but I think I know what you mean. Like, friends that I came out to and who in the beginning sort of avoided gendering me (I didn't ask them to use male name and pronouns) started referring to me as female again . I know this is a slightly different situation, but it sucks a bit too.

I hope you find a way of dealing with the situation so it becomes more bearable!

OMG I'm non binary and i have to do this all the time too its so frustrating! I feel like nobody understands it anyway so i usually just let it go but it makes me feel so bad...

I don't like having to constantly educate people on gender stuff!

ive come out like twice to some of my coworkers and theyll immediately go back to using gendered language w/me they just dont get it. however i dont want to make a big deal and completely come out to everyone here bc i dont want ppl to treat me differently :/ im thinking about getting a necklace with my pronouns on it and just pointing at it.
