It’s so frustrating! I didn’t have a vulva until two years ago, but always been a woman. So often people just speak over you.

The best one is when men who don’t do the same job as you start explaining your job to you :‘) happened multiple times both in composition and community work :’)

People speaking over me has indeed always been a thing, both before and after transitioning. The mansplaining otoh started after I came out and started hrt.

Yeah, especially the techobro-ascended managers who kept trying to tell me how to do the job I went to fucking university to learn.
