    That’s been my experience with my trans homies. As long as you try and get the pronouns right, little slips ain’t a big deal. They usually seem shocked that a redneck like me would even make the effort. Which is real fucken sad cause I figure that means they deal with it maliciously, more often than not, from people that look and talk like me.

    Mr. Rogers would have something to say about not treating people like they want to be treated. If Mr. Rogers would be disappointed in the way you treat others, you’re fucking up and should feel bad.

    I have a dumb tongue and really struggle with non-english names, it’s the same thing, normal people don’t care as long you make an effort.
