I'm not allowed to have feelings anymore ://

talks about getting misgendered

Everyone: "No offense but...you still look like a woman. Especially when you present femme. Don't be angry when people see you as a ma'am."

"You should be okay being called she/her. You'll get used to it eventually. Especially since you don't pass"

talks about how my professor forced me to come out to class

Everyone: "you have to give her some grace, she's old and doesn't understand trans people. You'll be okay. Be more understanding."

I'm not allowed to feel angry. I'm not allowed to feel sad. I'm supposed to suck all my negative feelings up and put them away. I'm supposed to be okay being called a girl. I am supposed to just smile and make myself smaller. I am supposed to be invisible...
