@ra6bit@infosec.exchange When dealing with older people do you ever ack like you “pick up” on their “memory issues” and start treating them that way? If they were doing that to me I don’t think I could stop myself. I bet it would drive them nuts. Not in your situation. I’m so sorry they do that to you.

@foobarsoft@mastodon.social Oh, they get real indignant if I do that, and imply that I'm the one with the unusual demands. Usually I'm just sitting there thinking I have cleavage, you think that would "remind" people the masc ship sailed and it's never coming back Like is it really less awkward for them to call someone with obvious boobs by a boy name? Half the time it makes other people around think they've lost their minds. The truly obnoxious thing though is when they "forget" clearly to tell other people of my originally assigned first name. Like it's not bad enough to get my name wrong, they want to make sure other people know which one will piss me off the most. The psychology of transphobia would fascinate me if I wasn't living in it.
