SA mention
Back when I was 11, I was experimenting with gender and my 10-year-old girlfriend had learned about rape. Though I don’t put a lot of blame on her due to her age, she responded with “Ew, you don’t want to be raped that badly that you want to turn into a guy?”
Nothing particularly interesting, just stuff along the lines of that they knew I was ‘really’ a boy and would continue to refer to me as one, usually with some sort of biblical justification. Others were more chill and seemed to just pretend that I hadn’t said anything, a few others tried to be supportive but ended up still regularly misgendering me out of habit.
The time between me realizing I was trans to coming out was like, 3 weeks, and that was in june, so I still misgender myself almost as often as others, so if it’s an accident and not an obvious fuck you, I find it hard to get mad. Mental inertia is a hell of a thing
