hope i mentally survive tmrw i'm gonna go to church for the first time in 6 years because we have to go to my step cousin's baptism? tf...

i have not interacted with my step grandma/family in a long time and I wanted to keep it that way

so as an autistic trans kid i'm gonna go tomorrow and have masking power set to HIGH so i come off as normal, as well as having to deal with being misgendered and deadnamed.

I don't want to go. Everything about that situation is bad. The concept of going into such a socially terrifying situation for me elicits a fight or flight response.

I'll wear my pride mask and rainbow socks with my pretty formal but very gender nonconforming outfit tho &gt;:))
