If a stranger misgenders you, please please please do not ever utter the phrase, “I’m a man.” It sounds very unnatural and immediately sounds overly defensive.
My advice? Just look at the person like they’re an idiot and, in the deepest voice possible, say, “Uh. Alright, then.”
Just act as though they made a huge and obvious mistake, and don’t get flustered. If you’re comfortable with it, handle the situation with humor and say something like, “Man, I know I’ve got a babyface, but I didn’t think it was that bad.”
People are saying that you should be unapologetic but the keyword here is “stranger”. You could be in danger if the person is transphobic, and you have no way of knowing their stance if you don’t know the person. So writing it off casually ensures the most low risk way of making your gender known.
Posting this again because of the new information added on.
you can basically do anything if you act confident enough so this is legit advice
those little things on ur nose aren’t blackheads, don’t try and get rid of them they’re sebaceous filaments and they’re permanent and literally everyone has them
every girl has that little pouch of fat on her lower tummy, despite what magazines try n show u, you have important organs there that need to be protected don’t try and get rid of ur pouch
ur body is smarter than u think and it knows what to do when u eat more than normal. one bad day, or even week, of eating poorly isn’t gonna ruin anything at all I pinky promise
if u think u look good up until u try taking a selfie, it’s not ur fault – our faces are asymmetrical and when u see ur face flipped it will look unnatural to u, since u don’t see it that way when u look in the mirror. to everyone else it looks perfectly fine
no one’s stomach looks the same at 8pm as it does at 8am. no one has a chiseled six pack after a day of eating, not even the super fit people u see on tumblr, because ur stomach naturally expands after eating and expecting to have a flat tummy before bed is very unrealistic
no one notices if the bags under ur eyes are bad today. no one pays attention to the bump in ur nose or the zit on ur chin or the piece of hair that u missed when u were straightening. literally no one notices these things except you so stop worrying about it ur gonna be fine
Evolving into bipedal creatures was a rush job to let us see over the tall grass that had suddenly grown to replace our ancestors’ forests, and evidently nobody’s seen fit to patch up that rush job since then. Our gait is about the most efficient in the animal kingdom, and there’s nothing that has hips quite like ours, but our backs suck.
Ruby: having serious sex with someone or laughing with their partner.
To Gravescratch, goofiness generally implies a different tone, like when he’s playing with Blackspark in his alt. He largely prefers to be serious. Quiet amusement might happen during interface, but he doesn’t laugh easily and probably wouldn’t respond too well to a partner laughing at him, largely out of confusion and the beginnings of offense. Laughter is for playtime, interface is a different sort of play.
The door is open a full six inches, cat. You do NOT need to sit next to it and yell mournfully. You are not trapped.
Mun: Yours do that too, huh?
He finally realized that it was open.
I think the poor dummy actually doesn’t realize the door is open unless he walks up from an angle where he can see the gap. Our other cat pulls/pushes doors open with her paws and tries to get a grip on doorknobs, you’d think this one would learn eventually that doors are moveable. He’s not the smartest. I love him anyway, though.
