Yeah that’s tough. There are things we can do this way and that but we can’t always control how other people see us. For what it’s worth I don’t think this is a problem unique to being trans, it’s just kind of an unfortunate part of the human condition. Still, I think there are ways of easing the struggle. The next question would be what would being misperceived in this way mean to you? If someone thought that, say, my eyes were brown rather than blue I’d be confused but it wouldn’t bother me…

too much. Being misperceived in and of itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it seems like being misperceived in terms of your gender *is* something that bothers you. So I’d be curious to explore that some more. Where does that distress come from? (to be clear, I’m asking these questions so I can find some actionable advice to give you to help you feel less hopeless, lmk if any of this doesn’t make sense or rubs you the wrong way)
