Anyone else get asked stupid questions?
A downside of being trans is getting asked stupid questions in public. Not just stupid questions but invasive and sometimes dehumanising questions. A popular favourite is "what are you?" Normally my stock reply to that one is "Capricorn." However, when someone asks me that in a really awkward space like the queue in Tesco's I just have to go the extra mile:
"Umm... Excuse me...
Yes?
What are you?
[Checkout lady and bloke in front both look round, startled.]
Do you honestly expect me to answer that?
Yeah, what are you?
Alrighty, I am a hard-drinking, fast-biking, frequently cross-dressing new wave punk with tendencies towards 1970's rock, moshpit brawls and overt womanising. Now tell me, what are you?
Umm... I like garage and shit...
Yeah, sorry I asked."
Bear in mind folks, I had just biked it there so I was clad head-to-foot in armoured leather. No way he was gonna start something. He actually looked proper sheepish by the end of it.

Hallucinogenic
Online I sure do. "do you have girl bits or boy bits.'
It's frustrating. and they want to bug you until you give your birth gender so they can consider you that.
It's frustrating when they say your pretending or that you 'think' you are the opposite sex.
$#@$%&*!!!
