unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control (a very enthusiastically gender-affirming waiter repeatedly addressing me by the name written on the takeout order i was picking up), i now have the strongest positive gender associations with……. my roommate’s name

my roommates both helped me while i was recovering from surprise iud, incl. making/bringing me food so i didn’t have to stand up a lot, carrying laundry up & down stairs, and walking with me to a slightly far meeting i had to go to– nothing i couldn’t have done on my own even at my most unwell, but sometimes it’s just really nice to have people help you do stuff and to get to lie down and wait for the cramps to go away (which they mostly have by now)

and both of them were so kind & thoughtful & solicitous about it, & about checking in with me several times as i recover, and this was all a very minor procedure that i underwent on purpose but it’s still so nice to be taken care of, you know?
