Transphobia is a form of life long trauma.

It doesn't matter that I'm probably imagining it. It doesn't matter that I don't know her at all and she's never said a word to me and I don't really know what she's thinking.

She looks like a terf I knew way back in high school, with her height and her clothes and her haircut and her nose ring. And when we made glancing eye contact I thought she looked uncomfortable.

I can't possibly know what she was thinking or how she feels about me.. it's all in my head. But earlier in the evening I had used a deep voice to project my words, so I know she heard a "guy voice" from me, and so did everyone else. And I'm new there. No one knows me, these are basically my first impressions.

And now I'm afraid of something that's probably not even real. And I can't stop thinking about it.
