Tess

I meant it more lighthearted than it sounds.
Saves on the social obligations :)

As a parent who is trans, I can confirm that most people seem to look right through me.

More like balancing on a tiny stool. Now I get the feeling that he might topple over at any moment.

Aw, thanks. It’s just my default behavior.
It takes a moment, and then I’ll remember why I’m actually there. But the impulse to not want to be a bother to anyone runs deep :)

This is legitimately the first response that comes to mind when I’m at a doctor’s appointment that I personally asked for.
Like, I don’t want to bother this nice lady with my problems. I’m sure she has better things to do than having to listen to me.
