lol today a contractor was over and misgendered me and my lifemate was like they use they/them pronouns and i saw PANIC in his eyes lol
and i was like he don& #39;t know what that is honey and she tried to explain and his eyes just got wider and wider

and i was like baby you can just use he/him for me, it& #39;s okay
and he was like oh okay i can do that!
he stumbled out: man i got younger cousins that got like.. gender & same sex ORIENTATIONS and they keep trying to correct me but i mess it all up!

i just love everyone and i don& #39;t mean no disrespect i& #39;m just ignorant and don& #39;t understand =(
and i was like i totally get you, we are all good!
and i could just totally see that he really didn& #39;t want to disrespect and just didn& #39;t know HOW to say things right around me

poor dude doin& #39; his best.
hopefully i can help him understand some of the concepts while we& #39;re working together next week so he can make his cousins feel more comfy with him!

funny thing is 90% of people if i say oh you can just use he/him for me if it& #39;s easier will IMMEDIATELY start using they/them because it& #39;s not neopronouns confusing them, it& #39;s transphobia lmao
but this guy really was just confused so as soon as i gave him the binary option he was relieved and repeated my masculine name and my pronouns firmly and shook my hand again.
