This is what I mean when I say that transmasculine & AFAB nonbinary people are invisible to the wider public still.

Tech: Ms. [last name]

Me: Don't call me Ms., you can just call me [last name].

Tech: Oh. *5 minutes later*
Wait, did you say you want me to call you Ms.?

Me: No, I don't want you to call me Ms., you can just say [last name] when you call me up.

Tech: Oh.

This is the first time I've ever spoken up about it. I also wrote on the sign up sheet today "(Not a Ms.)" next to my name.

Physical therapist: Ms. [last name]

He literally knows that I changed my name and has seen my they/them mask.

I doubt any of the people I interacted with has known an out transmasculine person.

They've been calling me Ms. forever, 2 days a week.

I honestly don't understand how they don't get it yet? Why is it so hard?

It's like when I ask I'm speaking a different language?

I shouldn't have to say "I'm nonbinary and my pronouns are they/them so please don't call me Ms." for them to respect me.

4/5

I shouldn't have to say that to every single person.

The only reason I was able to speak up today was because there were so few people there for once.

I guess I will resign myself to being called "Ms." forever.. because it's not like anyone seems to care or even understand
