I went out to lunch and a little shopping with my sister yesterday. Repeatedly we were greeted as "Ladies" (Hello Ladies, how are you ladies doing, have a great day ladies, etc.). Each time it felt wonderful to hear someone gender me appropriately. Obviously if you examine it, much of that excitement comes from other times where I've been mis-gendered or had anxiety over being mis-gendered. So I'm curious, for those of you much further down the path of transition, did there come a point where it just became natural and it was no longer a big deal when someone used the right pronouns or terms to address you?
