Dysphoria by ZueltheCat

I now know the pain of misgendering.

It. Really. Hurts.

I can only imagine hearing the discussion with my parents and brother about this subject. I usually write down my trans problems / thoughts and personal thoughts in a journal I bring to school every day. I know I'm usually misgendered by mistake, but when it's not, it hurts. But I know this will all pass soon.

re: yeah. lowkey though, I sometimes use the men's room... but it's only in public places I don't go to a lot when no one I'm with is looking, and every time so far, the men's room was empty anyway. so. yeah. :)

PS I deleted my comment on your post because I now realize it came off as really long, rant-y, and offtopic, sorry X')

Rep: Yeah....the way my birth name is spelled is like a jab to heart. Sydney....i prefer Sidney thank you very much. also just being called my birth s.ex or hearing THOSE pronouns makes me feel uncomftorable and having to use the women's restroom, or just having the parts. i just don't know when i'm going to tell my parents....i'm not ready yet and i don't know what they'll say, especially my mom Y-Y

Rep: i know the pain though i have a surprisingly deep voice.....it's weird i suppose, but i know the pains. Hey i have an idea, why don't we do a collab together to express our feeling and all. i do want to find more ways to contact you if that's possible and all so we can become closer friends and all :)

re: oh. too bad. maybe you'll get a chance some time. but don't take any big risks (eg your parent is RIGHT around the corner- I did that once, actually, but it's bc I KNEW my dad wasn't going to the bathroom anytime soon)

aha, yes, of course! urinals are just for peeing, so they have to have stalls, too. In a small bathroom there will usually be at least one urinal and one toilet (in a stall).
like, it might be considered kinda weird if you go in a stall and don't poop, but anybody that's in the bathroom probably isn't paying attention, and even if they did notice there were no poop sounds, they'll probably assume: 1) you don't like urinals/you're insecure/anxious, 2) you thought you had to poop but then didn't, or 3) it's none of their fucking business. in fact, even if they conclude one of the first two, basically everyone will arrive at number 3. because it really isn't their business. and I mean, they probably don't want to know anyway. it's really not a big deal.
oh yeah. I should probably tell you- I've heard this second-hand, because like I said I've only been in the men's room when it was empty (mostly by chance than effort), but from what I've heard, the social atmosphere is much different. like, in the women's room, you can talk to other people there, sometimes. like, you can ask other girls if they have (makeup, tampons, etc). you can compliment their outfit/hair/whatever. you can just make a brief comment. you know what I'm saying.
in the men's room, that doesn't happen. you don't talk to others, you don't make eye contact. seriously, nobody makes eye contact. people don't talk, or maybe just talk much less, idk. but you almost NEVER talk to strangers in there. oh, and I guess this isn't really a thing you or I will ever have to know, but just for reference, you never ever ever take a urinal next to somebody else, never touch anybody using a urinal, and when using a urinal, just look down and never look up. AND NEVER. EVER. LOOK AT ANYBODY WHEN THEY'RE USING A URINAL, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ALSO USING A URINAL AT THE SAME TIME.

uh. yeah. that's all I can think of to tell you right now on the subject of the men's bathroom.

^oh yeah, and I should clarify: if there is a row of more than 2 urinals, and enough are open, you don't take one next to somebody else. if the only urinal left is right next to one in use, I'm not really sure. I guess you could maybe take it, or just wait. I don't know.
