It fucking blows but, honestly, I just never take off my KN95 mask in public... It seems to mostly keeps me from being misgendered (on top of also just being a good idea, of course). I'm never gonna afford FFS, and because of electrolysis I'm not even allowed to shave for like half of every week, so masks being socially acceptable has been a lifesaver for me in more ways than one. Would that help for you too?

The only times you have an opportunity to deadname or misgender yourself is when you're referring to yourself in the third person. When you do that, it's usually because you're thinking from the perspective of someone else, right?
At least for myself, I've noticed a correlation between how other people (on average) are referring to me and how I am mentally referring to myself. I don't think misgendering/deadnaming yourself is reflective of how you see you, it's reflective of how you think the world sees you.
That's just my hypothesis though, could be wrong.
I don't have much to say about it other than that it's one of the best movies I've seen in years. I cried for hours.
