The First One Reminds Me Of My Coworker - Tumblr Posts

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

the first one reminds me of my coworker
who referred to me with she/her pronouns
then immediately apologised and used they/them
i had not told her my pronouns were they/them
i had not told any of my coworkers my pronouns were they/them
i was out everywhere else but not there
what the fuck was that
or my manager who approached me and said “hey frankie we just got new nametags with pronouns on them which one do you want? they/them...?”
hard to describe but yk when you trail off after listing a couple options like a non-verbal “etcetera”
it was like that but she only said the one thing
again i was not out at work
tbf. i am a butch lesbian. from a distance i look like a 12 y/o boy
im not shocked in hindsight that they went “oh that is a trans person”
but it does startle me a little everytime and im impressed they specifically somehow clocked that i used they/them
god sorry that was a ramble and a half and only tangentially related LMAO
not fic
life stuff
