genderstuff ++ 

My teacher saying the swedish female version of singers when talking about us who sing. And when someone corrected saying the male version of singer, my teacher just responded. "Mattie is who Mattie is." and like fuck that felt good to hear. I don't even think they ment it badly the person who said the male version of the word. Probably just forgot since I haven't talked to them in like 6 months.

also it's been really fucky for me the last couple of years struggling with my gender identity and having to hear the male version of the word everytime. But hearing the female version used without second thought, and shutting down someone correcting the person saying the male version feels really good finally. Even if it's in like the last months it took for it to finally happen.

@Mattie Self discovery is always a good thing to explore.
