since i live in germany, i don’t get any of these very often. it’s quite unkommon to use such phrases to adress someone in german. at least in my circles. if you’d approach a friend of yours with “meine freundin” (my friend), they’d probably ask you what tf you want of them. it’s not really casual. “bro” is in use but mainly with younger people?

some of my queer friends use “girl” or “diva” for me tho. if speaking english. outside of that specific context “diva” would be a bit of an insult in german. :)

i am still amused about people at work standing in the frame of my office door, asking me for Mr. Soandso. i then smile at them and say “yes come in. that’s me.” if people don’t get visibly confused, i don’t feel very misgendered, bc i am playing a role. and when they are it’s just super affirming. they are criticizing my performance but affirming my gender. :)))) (need to make it official soon, yeah.)

ja, when people are confused by how you look or can’t see a many anymore, you should make it official soon 😅

In Germany aren’t professional titles quite common, like “Herr Doktor Professor” kind of stuff? Or is that just in a limited context of a workplace or particular job?
