#maybe I won't have to stand around while a man saunters through the middle of the doorway

[loveableabomination]

I stared at myself in the mirror this morning. I usually don't even look at the mirror but today I did. My mirror sits at just the right height so i can't see much of my chest. I looked at myself and saw a man in the face, so I closed my eyes and saw a man's chest too. I smiled.

I'll have that someday.

I went to work today with the baggiest shirt I could find. I can't bind right now, I'm trying to heal up a binding injury.

I still get called "ma'am."

I have a top surgery consultation in April. I absolutely cannot wait.

#transmasc #trans #trans positivity #trans pride #top surgery #anticipation #i seriously can't wait #I'm so excited #maybe men will stop holding doors for me or insisting they help me lift a pallet #maybe men will give me space in the hallway #maybe i won't have to flatten myself to the side just to let His Highness pass by #maybe I won't have to stand around while a man saunters through the middle of the doorway #leaving no room for anyone else #seriously how do they do that #what in the actual heck do they think they're doing #other people exist and need to move through these spaces you turd #I square my shoulders lock my jaw think MURDER stare straight ahead and they still don't move #but when people see me as a man I will not be the jerk who doesn't move #i will be courteous #I will make space for women #because they're people too #that's the funny thing we're all people here #why can't we all just be kind
