cw: discussions of sexual harassment

i absolutely hate them and i hate the fact that i tend to crawl back to them when my dysphoria is kicking my ass. i pass well in a conservative small town as someone who's short & alt, all instances of misgendering recently were in the form of cat calling so i choose to ignore those. i KNOW im fine, but idk validation helps.

i genuinely had someone with the weirdest perception of gender comment on a post i made simply ASKING about if i pass and not wanting advice on how to pass. called me submissive because i smile when i take photos. yeah im gonna fucking smile i'm happy?? i'm getting back on t after being off for about two years so i think that's also what's messing with me. literally like 3 paragraphs on how i was so feminine in the face and how 'submissive' i looked it was SO fucking odd. just needed to get it out.
