So basically

my mom said she’s going to take away my driver’s license if I keep wearing my binder

I have to ask her permission to wear it or she won’t let me drive

She’s letting me wear it for three hours at a social gathering on Monday but I’m not allowed to wear it regularly anymore

I’m considering just burning my driver’s license and handing her the pile of ashes.

Cis privilege is being able to go to youth groups and churches and other religious places without inherently being seen as an abomination by the other people who practice your religion.

So few churches in my area are LGBT+ friendly that I simply don’t go to church anymore because I feel like I’m unwelcome there.

Good thing about working at my parents’ restaurant:
-High job security if I do what I’m supposed to.

Bad thing about working at my parents’ restaurant:
-What I’m supposed to do is go by my birth name and incorrect pronouns.

To be honest I really prefer ey/em/eir pronouns to he/him/his, but I’m too scared to ask anyone to use them because I feel like they’ll just get pissed at me or say “those aren’t real pronouns/it’s too much of a hassle to remember those”.

It’s kind of messed up that I’m afraid to ask for my identity to be respected.

This morning I was referred to as a “thing”, because apparently using my preferred pronouns is too damn hard.
