i was getting breakfast at a whataburger while in boy mode, and it was taking forever, so i went to sit down, and an older woman sat down next and started chatting with me. she mentioned that her name was my chosen name and i went "umm, me too!" and she giggled, and then we started fulling chatting about hair and dying hair. she just treated me like i was another woman and seemed to have a lot of fun talking to me. i even said at one point that "my current name was what my parents were going to choose if i was born a woman" (i actually had no idea about this part until i came out to my family and every single member said "that was gonna be your name if you were a girl!")

also when i got called for my food, the cashier said "ms".

i just wanted to share a positive story from a small town in a red state. most people are good

no seriously, every game we play together, without fail, enemies will sprint past me to kill him. it's really fucking hard to tank for him. i can be actively attack or pulling agro, and the enemy goes "Nah, imma kill the guy standing 40 feet away from me through 3 different people. cause fuck em"
