when buying my bicycle I also wanted to grab a lock for it. the choice was bright pink or some generic one - blue or some shite. being a cissy, the clerk looked at me and said 'we got two, but the choice is limited, eh?' of korz I went with that pink one - bastard telling me what I should or shouldn't buy xD

Do you remember the brand… asking for educational purposes of course.

I still find it amusing about some people's reaction to pink stuff. Like, you're a man who's giving me shit for wearing pink? Is your masculinity so fragile even seeing another man wearing the color it bothers you? Gtfo that's so dumb. Plus it's a color that looks good on me lol

Not had that a lot...

spoilersomething about the long hair, carrying a purse, and women's jeans. The reactions I get are sometimes the "mommy, are they a boy or a girl" reaction. Kids just say what's on their mind, but I feel like the adults either walk on eggshells or just purposely miss-gender.
