The worst form of gender affirmation that shows Im definitely a woman is that I can literally provide correct information backed up by facts and experience and nobody listens to me at all until everything is fucked, it's too late, then they want me to help solve it. - ThreadSky

Enbie, but, I've often been the one to fix shit for others. I don't deal with my family anymore, but while most of them were still alive I often had to be clean up for them.

This isn't about cleaning up messes, this is a post about listening

I hate how often I am right, and how men, especially will wait until they've wasted so much time and fucked up, just to finally admit I was right all along. Even the more mature/conscientious men I know have fallen into this trap.

Literally my whole life before transitioning as well, idk why I didn’t see the signs earlier

mine is having an internal monologue about other women that would make Regina George look well-adjusted

Nobody listened to me even before I transitioned tbh.

Same, but I was being third gendered then too. My voice was too high, I didn't stand like a man, I had multiple friendships with women, etc. Hell, whenever me and the person who was the best friend I had ever had up to that point got into a fight he'd point out that I think and approach problems

Like a woman.

Transitioning merely made it official that the reason men, especially, refused to listen to me was because as a woman I couldn't know more than them.

This is how I feel when I talk about exercise physiology.

I shouldn't HAVE to casually demonstrate the movement adjustments that the consultee needs to make if they want to engage the muscle they want to build with the weight they just struggled with, but it does get through a lot of the dudebro dismissiveness they point at me.

After I got my name changed at work, I literally linked a guy in my IT department the solution to a problem I was having that I needed someone in IT to send the email for, and he spent an hour and a half trying to figure it out himself before coming to the conclusion he needed to send the email.

This. I came home once and apologized to my partner after spending a day getting mansplained to. I so wanted to strangle the guy.

Oh your building has issues? Wow who could've seen that coming?
(it was me three weeks ago)

Like literally I transitioned and they treat me like I exchanged all my points in knowledge and experience in for tits which...

I wish I was able to do that but the hypno hasn't been THAT successful
