  • Maybe you took an interest in enough things to do well? Personally, I’d get distracted from lessons with trying to figure out alternative ways to think about or solve problems for things like math and I liked practicing mental math, so used normal classwork as a way to do that.

    More surprised I was able to deal with classes like English and history though. But I’ve just been lucky enough to have a good memory for certain things school cares about.





  • Usually its not explicit, but patterns happen can be seen. Sometimes its not obvious unless you are specifically looking for it or the one directly receiving the treatment.

    Trans experiences are just one case where those patterns become a lot more obvious. I remember someone telling a story about how often transitioning, someone’s father and brother started giving football explanations to her as if she were new to the sport when she’d been just as involved for her entire life. Its not like they were intentionally trying to be malicious, but they clearly subconsciously decided “woman needs to be taught how ball game works” even when its someone who they previous thought of as a man and didn’t treat like that.

    Of course cis women point out that same kind of treatment. And often people just think they’re imagining things.














  • When I came out to my moms, one of them commented about how I “suddenly had boobs” - it wasn’t sudden and I had been wondering for a couple months if they might notice before I got around to saying something (had been on E for 6 months at that point - granted the first 3-month dosage was in the low-side).

    People still default gender me as male though - even those who didn’t know me until recently and I’ve reached the 1 year mark.

    Whipping girl is a good read, but I wish she’d release a new edition without of the NB-phobic-seeming stuff taking up so much space (not saying she is NB-phobic)
