My CD keeps calling me and my partner the ladies and addressing the males by their names. How many times will I have to tell him my damn fucking name before it sticks? 🙄

Interrupt him every time he does that with a simple “my name is ___” Do it every time until he gets it right.

Call them out whenever they do it. It will change.

Fuck I hate when they do that. Once had a GCD ask my partner and I if we'd rather be called "the girls" or "the ladies." Told him our names would be just fine.

Well they can’t go calling all the boys “the boys” there’s just too many and that would be so very confusing in a boys club. (Make sure that dumb dumb calls you by your name, that’s so annoying)

I had a direct report address our clients using “ladies” in an email once 🙄

Tell him you’re actually still in transition

Tell him if he's going to call you by your gender and not your name you're going to call him "the sexist CD" I mean not that that is a specific enough nickname to know which CD you're talking about but worth a try

Document asking him to adjust his phrasing. If nothing happens, you have it as evidence for asking for it to stop.

Is it normal for my psychiatrist to ask to schedule an appointment to lower the dose of my Ritalin XR prescription?

I’ve been on the same dose the past few months but recently it’s been causing a pretty bad crash for me so I wanted to lower it. Why the hell do I need to pay $60 for 10m of her time to prescribe me a lower dose of the same meds?

I’m wondering if I’m overreacting, or she’s purposefully trying to just get paid more
