Why I Hate Talking on the Phone (#misgenderedagain)

I’ve trained myself to gently ask them, as soon as it happens, to refer to me as “Dara” and not “ma’am.” The person apologized, as they always do, and a few seconds later they forgot that I had mentioned it, which is also what they usually do.


Dara is one of those rare gender therapists who can actually relate to some of the problems faced by those with gender related issues.  In this post, Dara discusses mis-gendering over the phone, a topic I'm sure many can relate to.
