Lol I used to have a passport that looked so different to me that people would usually say, “Wow, what happened here?” when they looked at it 😂

i still think about the time i was out and about with another enby friend when a rando on the street came up and went "excuse me ma'ams- uh, sirs." the confusion allowed us to walk away without being drawn into conversation. gender fuckery for fun and profit.

'gender fuckery for fun and profit' is a perfect caption for so much nonbinary art, also, what well timed confusion... happy enby friend (internet version) :) :) :)

I love the assigned check at restaurant bit. When that happens with my wife and I, we both "bicker" over who has to pay even though we have a joint account.

Biiiig mood. I even got asked if I was old enough for a bra fitting without a parent there. I was with my then-fiancee. It was for our wedding. I was 35. 😂

“Your husband or wife or whatever” literally the dream, that’s like. The ideal life. I hope I get there one day.

The amount of times people thought I was my wife's son is astounding. I even got scolded by an older woman (stranger) for messing around with my wife saying "no you can't have my ice cream" 😳 Apparently I wasn't being respectful towards my mother 😶

Lol the "teen boy bubble" happens to me a lot

Most of the times have been at restaurants (I am NOT twelve and under why do you keep giving me your kids' menus) but about a year ago at high school orientation, my friend's parents saw me and said to them "why's there a twelve year old boy in here" THEY'VE KNOWN ME SINCE FIRST GRADE
