Do I really feel the way I feel?

[axeslade]

So today at breakfast I was referred to by either 'miss' or 'ma'am' (I was tired so I didn't catch all of it) but...I can't say anything, can I? I don't want to get into a conversation that really does need to be a long one with the person who scans my card. It's not worth it. But it still hurt a bit. I'm presenting more male today, so it was kind of a kick in the metaphorical balls. I really don't like 'miss' or 'ma'am'. Nor do I like 'mr.' or 'sir'. I'd prefer 'Mir'. But I can't explain that to people I won't interact with that often, can I? And you can't put that on applications, no one will get it.

*sigh*

Speaking of presentation...it's been hard for me to present female because I didn't bring much with me that will allow that. I'm thinking of bringing some more girlie things up with me when I go home for Thanksgiving. I don't like wearing it in public because I feel so exposed, but...sometimes, I just like dressing up when I'm alone. I'd love to put on my really red lip gloss and a boa and some really girlie top and tight jeans...*sigh*

SECOND EDIT: Found a girlie top mom had sent up with dad last time he was here...mixing it with one of my plaid shirts and lipgloss..not too bad.
