transphobia or something /

walked into women’s bathroom in university library today, and some girl literally about to close her stall door saw me, got big scared eyes, and ran out of the bathroom, clearly to check the sign. after like four seconds she came back in and i couldn’t just go hide in a stall bc they were all full or the one she’d vacated that i couldn’t make myself take. then another one opened up and i went to hide in it for a while until everyone else in the bathroom had left. i know this isn’t even really my (afab, lesbian/“butch”-identified) struggle to have, really, but god. felt bad! for a second after she came in i thought she was going to say something to me! idk, i look androgynous on purpose, maybe i don’t get to be upset, but– no actually this is still upsetting. idk. didn’t love it. not sure how to explain why but like, this is just a thing, this is an extant thing that is kind of bad, right
