Despite how a lady at the bookstore “struggled with” my pronouns and bounced off “he” several times before settling on “they” cause apparently she couldn’t bring herself to say “she.”
Shit’s hard out there.

I’m extra sad to hear this happened at a bookstore. Besides a couple struggling B&Ns every bookstore around here is independent and either trans-owned or aggressively trans-friendly. Bookstores and libraries should be the ultimate safe spaces.
Yeah, it was a tiny little (adorable) bookstore in Cloverdale, out in the middle of nowhere. :(
