slowly coming out to people at work and today i decided to come out to a woman i know does not like transgender people and she stopped me and said "no, i know what you are. i knew when you came in one day and you always had a very sweet, beautiful voice and it turned hard one day, suddenly. i know. and i have my own opinions. i know a lot of gays and lesbians and all kinds of people, trust me. and i respect you. but i have my own opinions under god. and you live your life." and literally earlier that day she had called me a "strong, very beautiful woman" which is part of why i did this. and i asked why, if she knew, that she did that anyways. and she said "well, it's how i see you, as you were born." and i just put up one finger and waggled it and said "we will not discuss this further". and like i knew this would happen. but oh well! i honestly thought she would be the kind of person who was sort of furious about it because it how she always seemed.

#its funny because she ALWAYS fished about it so i gave it to her #and after i started getting more obviously transitioned is when she started the whole very often calling me a girl and a woman thing #and even feminized my name. and claimed ''that was what you always went by!'' which is just untrue.#its funny! the people who perfectly understand it always are the people who completely are against it #i much rather the kind of people who straight up dont understand and ask a lot of questions about it to learn #and usually still dont fully quite get it in the end but put their thumbs up about it though and smile and try. those people i really love #VERY FUNNY because she literally thought ''Holly'' (bastardization of the name i went by at work for awhile) was my birthname #and that my masculine birthgiven name was the name i was trying to change my name to #and before i came out she was like ''well.. i think Holly's a very beautiful name. i dont know why you would change it to... that''#ma'am... that is a bastardization of my chosen name you made up in your mind. and. its the opposite. you're just skewing it up for yourself #might literally have an HR problem with this woman if it keeps going
