It's been making me smile all day ☺️ Thank you!
Talk about a male fail, way to go girl, so happy for you!!
That's so great, I'm happy for you!
It's nice to know that, at least for places with reasonably civil societies, it's becoming more and more normal to key your pronoun and gendered speaking choices on modifiable cues like clothing, makeup, hair or appearance in general.
That said; lots of women sound pretty deep too. Maybe more are just openly nonbinary about their expression and have taken steps to deepen it; or it's just how it's always been and I'm too derpy to notice because I am recently learning that you don't focus on someone's vocal range as I've only been openly trans and in a civilized place for a few years total now.
At any rate it's nice to know that even in a service setting they realize how cheap, easy and good for their reputation it is to just simply respect someone's communicated preference by double-checking their appearance(s) first before locking in on a pronoun and possibly having to awkwardly correct...when possible.
At a drive through speaker it isn't; so you were probably expecting them to drone on as if they didn't bother to even take 2 seconds to see at the window what little, if any makeup you wore, or the color of your nail polish or quality of your self-grooming, regardless of it's deteriorated state, to affirm that you actually were living as female.
This is so sweet 😊 glad for you
i really wanted to like, type out a long comment about how this is giving me hope, but it's getting all scrambled in my head. i appreciate you & am happy for you, friend.
Oh good, I'm so glad I could help give hope for you in your transition! I thought I was kind of hopeless before, but sticking with it has ended up being really rewarding. I am sure it is the same for you. Thank you!
that must have felt so good!
