Does anyone else feel bad when they have to pretend to be a singlet?

We get harassed at work just for being trans and we feel it's better to never explicitly mention the plural thing. It sucks when I'm stressed and have to say I'm doing things on my own because I'm not. I want to give credit to who I consider my real family for making sure I'm safe and that I eat when I'm sad and don't feel like garbage. I know they don't just take care of me because we share a body.

They're heavily involved in our external life and I wish there was a better way to talk about them without it making things harder.

100%, things for us at work are very much a combined effort and it really sucks to have to hide all of that out of fear of whatever kind of retaliation. We at least take solace in the times and places we are allowed to be open about us and I hope that y'all have similar spaces where you can properly exist. Work has consistently been just a place to fake it, no matter where we're working, but that doesn't take anything away from the system as a whole. - Phoebe (it/its)
