I started getting mistaken for a trans woman at work?

[Anonymous]

Hello I'm a woman age 23 and even gave birth to a baby but for some reason just because I'm tall a rumor began at my workplace that I'm trans. I have ovaries and was born female and even dress girly sometimes. Whenever guys want to flirt with me a few guys say no dude she's a dude. I don't care about flirting since I already have a partner but WTF? Also a manager told me hey dude and used guy terms towards me guess he's transphobic even though I'm not trans like omg I had no idea how bad trans people were treated until I got mistaken for one. I'm Christian and deeply religious and don't support the whole lgbt due to my religion but this experience has opened my eyes and I've developed friendly relations with the trans people at my work. Despite not agreeing with a lifestyle or sexuality I believe people should be treated as a human being. I don't hate anyone so it's shocking how much hate they receive. When I enter restroom people turn and stare at me like I'm crazy all because of this rumor.

I'm glad you're learning to have empathy for the 2SLGBTQ community. Sucks you're mistaken for trans just because you're tall.

Use your newfound misgendering to your amusement, if you can.

If you can't, leverage local causes and advocate against transphobia. As a cis conservative religious woman, you have a unique platform within your community.

You see now misgendering isn't pleasant - and you're not even trans. If you stop transphobia at your workplace, you stop your own bullying as well.

Why don't you tell them the truth if it bothers you?

There's a lot of hate for trans, I'm sure they get treated badly, at the end of the day the truth doesn't change

Why don't you tell them you're a woman? If you don't they will assume the rumour is true.

I did but they think I'm lying and think I adopted my baby

You're having a laugh.

You definitely need a new job. The rumors are ridiculous and have gotten out of hand. There’s no way you can turn it around now because things have gone too far. The fact that there are actual trans people at the job adds to people’s questioning of your gender. Every job doesn’t have trans people. That’s a very rare thing. Most likely, a different job wouldn’t have this type of environment. Not that there’s anything wrong with working with trans people in general. But it’s not good if their presence leads others to mistake you for one of them.

Is there a question in there somewhere you're asking? If so, what are you asking?

None of this sounds true.

[Asker]

Sadly it is
