well this one's new (+)
in the past there's this thing where cis people get confused that i have a lady's name but am not - to them - a lady (and look if the tits and skirt don't work nothing gonna help them get over it so I've given up). they sorta freeze up like a deer's headlights and if it wasn't kinda hurtful it'd be kinda cute and funny how flustered they get
some other context for this story: you cannot change your name in the mcdonalds app and your girl here has enough points for a lot of ice creams racked up under her deadname, and ngl i'm fine being deadnamed for soft serve ice cream
so today I was getting a little treat and pull up to window number one which is usually where they confirm my name and try to give me proof of purchase like it's a costco and i'm gonna have to prove i paid for my ice cream
so anyway ginny girl rolls up and the dude working the register sees my order and is about to say " do you want your receipt" but he kinda does the freeze-up thing. he doesn't really understand the situation but i guess he just thought i look like a girl who dont wanna be called a boy's name.
his eyes sort of goes back and forth not sure what to do for like 30 seconds then just says "you had the ice cream and large coke?" (i get a large soda too it's health food for my boobs don't @ me)
i say yes, give him a smile and a gay wave. he didn't even offer me my receipt because his brain hadn't caught up yet.
anyway the teal durr of this story: having my deadname confuse people is way better than the reverse experience, tho i do feel bad for giving the poor little dude anxiety
also i didn't get called jenny so i got that going for me too
