Tales For The Broken

Idk

So I was going to include this in "don't" but I decided it could be its own chapter and I had not come out yet so let's get on with it.
Me and my friends were walking around one of my friends campgrounds and these older woman walk up and I don't even remember what they were talking about or why they said this because I was distracted. But they said
"Excuse me girls,"
After they could not hear or see us anymore I start doing this thing where I go insane inside and it partially shows on the outside and I look to one of my best friends and she knows what I'm thinking and says
"It's fine" she pauses after she sees my newly discussed expression and says, "let it go,"
Someone mistaking my gender is not something I can't let go. Don't say it's fine when I was so confused for so long feeling disforic and thought it was depression hating my body but never knowing why feeling like there's something wrong with me because I'm so confused coming out to friends and cutting my hair doing my makeup to look more masculine. I did not do all of that to be mistaken for a girl and have someone tell it's fine and to let it go. I'm still mad at her. But she doesn't know what she did wrong she does not even think she did something wrong. I know to most people this seems petty and stupid but I was hoping she was different.
Love you all <3
