I’ve figured out pretty much who I am in terms of gender. I’m non-binary, somewhere between male and female. But other people seem to really have a hard time with that, even my transgender wife. I tried on the “male” gender and it didn’t fit properly, but people seem to have stuck with it. For the record, I want my pronouns to be they/them/their. I want to be referred to as a person, not a guy or girl. Yeah, it’s slightly awkward for people used to just he and she. But isn’t validating my feelings worth a little awkwardness?
Gender is confusing.

Um, if people think it’s too much trouble to acknowledge your existence, that’s a huge problem! And that’s what they’re doing when they are ignoring your requests to be referred to with they/them pronouns and as a person. If people think that’s too awkward, they gotta check themselves or take a hike. At least, that’s how I feel about it in my life.
