Saw a soy boy on you tube at a meeting of some sort and he was obviously a male because he had a beard and a man bun.
He introduced himself thusly Hi I'm Bob and I am a he him. WTHeck?
There was no need to say he him it was obvious what his gender was.
I find the whole thing kinda silly.
Maybe I am too old or set in my ways but a lot of what I see out there is just making everything way more complex than it needs to be to the point it is getting ridiculous.
I was out dressed recently, full femme mode and went to a grocery store to pick up a few items. Most SA's will refer to me as ma'am and some will acknowledge me but without the use of a pronoun. I think I present well enough to not draw attention when out but if at more than a glance or if there is interaction I know I'm read. So while at the grocery store I went about my shopping, enjoying being out, with no apparent reaction from anyone. When I get to the check out I knew the young lady read me, but she was polite and addressed me as ma'am. It did make me feel good. I had purchased some breath mints and as she was putting my items in a bag she reached out to hand me the mints, asking, "Would like to put these in your purse?" I took them and thanked her. When she asked me the question, I was a little surprised, but took it as an acceptance of my presentation and treating me as she would any other woman. It was a nice feeling.
