had a stranger correct herself unprompted when gendering me today :)

was working and a customer initially referred to me as “the lady” to her son before apologising and saying she realised she shouldn’t have assumed that (I’m agender, androgynous presenting, but my voice is pretty high especially in customer service mode (one day t will save me I hope)) and normally I tend to be a bit more reserved about my gender and not correct people but since she brought it up I just responded oh no worries it happens a lot so I’m used to it! and she apologised again and said how frustrating that must be, she was very kind and honestly I haven’t had an interaction like this outside of lgbt spaces so it was a really nice surprise. I live in a relatively conservative area but even here there are people that see us and support us, as bleak as it often feels 🩵🩷🤍
