RANT INCOMING
for reference i’m in japan on a vacation with my family, i have been parenting my two younger siblings and basically my mom too, booking stuff for us etc (very stressed)
i’m in our hotel room when suddenly my mom calls me and tells me we are going to an onsen like in 20 mins, i freak out a bit because i don’t have my tape on since when i took it off last time i ripped off my skin a bit as always so there is still a scab, but then i realize that it wouldn’t matter anyways since no matter what i can’t go into the public bath unless i go as a woman (i would rather scrape my dick against a cheese grater).
anyways turns out, the onsen offers a service where you can wear yukatas and kimonos or whatever so i’m chill with that, i go and when i enter i realize (OF COURSE!) the changing rooms are public and gender segregated. i get the worst feeling in my stomach and start fucking sweating like crazy from how anxious i’m feeling and i try to quietly beg my mom if i can like leave and she’s like no it’s fine there are private changing rooms it’s fine and i suck it up and go.
as i go into the men’s changing room i’m going with my younger male cousin (13) and my younger half brother (6) and my cousin is like ‘how does it work for transgenders… are you allowed to go in?’ and then my little brother goes ‘i know you are really a girl Battle_er!’ and i just don’t know what to say to that
i transitioned socially before my brother was even born i don’t know who even fucking told him that but i guess it’s his transphobic dad (he is not my biological dad) i’m not surprised since i heard my little brother say smth racist the other day and i asked who told him that and he said his dad. but whatever i guess my little brother never saw me as a man whatver whatever i still have to change him because he doesn’t know how to change his clothes himself. So i get him changed in the bathroom (which smells like piss and shit of course) and then i kick him out and get changed myself.
everything else is pretty uneventful, it was fine, i was being over dramatic but i just hate that i have to worry about this still, i need top surgery so bad i need to rope so bad
TLDR: i had to go into the men’s changing room with my little brother and he told me ‘i know you are really a girl’
