Diary Of A Nonbinary

40

Okay so it's now November 1st so it's like technically Christmas now.

I mean I like Thanksgiving and everything, but it's basically celebrating us killing a bunch of natives so...

I'm already like really excited for Christmas because I'll probably get a bunch of cool shit. Like I asked for a Nintendo Switch and an electronic keyboard so it's gonna be lit. (kill me)

I'm probably gonna get my parents presents, but no one else because I'm broke af. I'm also getting my cat like a new scratch post or a little play house or something because I'm tired of him using my furniture as a jungle gym.

Is it wrong to talk about Christmas? Probably. Do I care? NOPE.

Time for a small rant...
So I was at lunch today with my friend that I went to the Halloween thing with and then some other girl that we're friends with came over. I don't know her that well I don't even remember her name, but that's okay because she didn't know my name either.

She asked me what my name was and I started to say "Its Kris." But I couldn't even get the "It's" out because my other friend butted in and said "It's [birthname]" and honestly it made me so mad.

Like 1) I think I can tell her my own name. 2) I told that friend a long time ago that I go by Kris, but she like forgot I guess.

I know she's accepting because when I told her she said okay and that she would call me Kris and stuff, but she never did.

I really want to remind her, but I don't like confrontation. Also, it's too late to tell the other person my real name anyways I guess.

In better news, my best friend is making huge progress in using my right name and pronouns.

They used to say my birthname without even thinking about it and now they're starting to call me Kris when trying to get my attention. And I think the last time I was with them they didn't call me she unless we were around people that aren't accepting, which is fine because I don't want to start an argument with people about my pronouns and stuff.

I've been trying so hard not to respond to my birthname when people who know say it, but it's really hard because I'm just so used to looking at whoever said my name and stuff.

Have a gay day.
