At some point it will happen to you, and you will be sober. And when it does, you will remember this day.

Is it normal to misgender yourself?

When I talk to myself, sometimes I call myself my dead name, or my gender I don’t associate myself with.

I feel it...

I’ve done that a handful of times. It’s only happened when I’ve been on full mental autopilot and totally distracted with other things.

The more frustrating part about it is that my acquaintances notice and figure if I slip up, then it’s more okay if they slip up from time to time too. And yeah, I try not to give people too much grief if they make mistakes, but, like… Please try not to make mistakes.

One of my acquaintances started a fairly large group text thread recently. Somewhere along the way someone said, “Who’s the android user in here ruining everything?” I never said anything in the thread, so I felt like I was in the corner of a crowded room wearing a disguise about to be exposed.
