Dysphoria is a reeeeeeal bitch, and undermines the best of days. I was out and about having a fantastic saturday shopping for a new outfit. I am trying on a few dresses when I hear a store attendant yell, "this the womens changing room, please leave now!!" I just froze, half naked and all the dysphoria hit. I then hear someone yell back, "I dont care, I am trying on womens clothes". You would think I would be relieved that it wasnt me.

I walked out and it felt like the whole world was staring at me. All my joy and confidence was sapped for the rest of the day. I havent been misgendered in over a decade, live freely as myself..... And yet. My daughter, she holds me up so much.

Just like when a nearby parent is scolding their child who happens to have the same name as you :/
