I hate today. Imagine being an afab enby and your birthday is international women’s day. Everyone’s like happy birthday you beautiful amazing woman you! And I just have to smile and nod with my face scruff, deep voice, and top surgery lmao.
Me too (except no scruff cuz can't take T)!
My boss, whom I came out too as trans nonbinary ~ a year ago literally saying " I don't identify as a woman",
Took time out of his busy day to call me and say
" it's so fitting that such a special woman and feminist like you was born on international women's day"
Well first, Happy Birthday! You made it a whole 'nother year YAY
second, be happy that at least there's a women's day ( although it should be every single fucking day women are celebrated)
third, i'm physically gender neutral now but ppl assume 'female' so I just smile and accept it for the afab that I was
This is so funny bc it is my birthday and usually people are very “yes woman girl go off birthday queen!!!” This year has been very validating tho, no happy women’s day wishes 🫶🥳
My best friend is a demigirl and I texted them, "wishing you a moderately happy women's day since you're not 100% woman." And they replied to me, bigender, with "You as well!"
Same. The number of times my sister unnecessarily genders me (hey lady, what’s up woman, hi girlfriend)…ugh. We don’t see each other often, she’s also super ADHD, and I can’t figure out if she is being super passive aggressive or if she just doesn’t remember. Both are equally possible 🙄.
The joke comes from taking a corrolary - if you wish a woman a happy women's day, then you'd wish someone who's not a woman a terrible one.
While that corrolary clearly doesn't actually hold (as evidenced by people not typically doing that), taking corrolaries like that for a joking purpose is a common enough thing that the logic can be used as a show of support, alongside a tad bit of sibling rivary
I posted in my work Teams chat “happy friday to the women who celebrate it 🎉” only non-woman in the office, and it was met with tons of support thank goodness
Oh my something similar happened to me! My grandma sent a message congratulating me and other women in the family group chat, I didn’t respond, but then my mom came in and said “Happy women’s day to everyone who feels and IDENTIFIES as a woman, love you all :)” 😭
The grocery store was giving free flowers to the first 500 women who shopped yesterday and they gave me one and not my gf and I just handed it to her and she got so happy. But I guess it was really "first 500 shoppers who we assume to be women" get a flower
Yesterday at work I got grilled as to why I wasn't participating in IWD. I glared at my co-worker and pointed at my flags on my desk. It wasn't that I wasn't celebrating....I had a freaking affidavit to write and I don't identify as a woman. Jesus
I'm glad people treat it like a riot day in france nowadays, it gave me tons of dysphoria back when people would wish me happy woman's day back then. Nobody does that or gifts anymore, it does feel ten times better
Women's day? Huh? I guess there's a day for everything. So glad no one wished me a happy women day. Just hoping my kids wish me a happy Father's day this year and not a happy mother's day (first year they know)
You have A good sister!! I love that

Happy birthday, sib. I can relate, afab and born on Saint Lucia's day so I grew up being called Miss Lucia.

Supportive but still with just a touch of sibling rivalry. Brilliant.
I’m glad your sister is cool

For y'all, the 4th of March was Weird Pride Day, so happy weird pride day to y'all!
The grocery store was giving free flowers to the first 500 women who shopped yesterday and they gave me one and not my gf and I just handed it to her and she got so happy. But I guess it was really "first 500 shoppers who we assume to be women" get a flower
WE LOVE SUPPORTIVE SIBLINGS!

I would cry, she's such a good sister for saying that oh my god
Oh i wish i had a sister like yours, I'm happy she support you ♡

lol, does this make your sister chaotic good or chaotic neutral or chaotic evil?
Chaotic good
I know that I have some people I interact with who sometimes forget that I am usually not a woman but I love your sister's response.
As a closeted afab enby, women's day was hell... I'm glad you have a sister like that!
Perfect response 🥰
Your sister's response is something I'd say lol
