I am going out today to look at RVs.
I doubt very much we will end up buying one given all the horror stories I've been reading about, the lawsuits with RV companies, the ongoing expense and maintenance, gas and diesel prices, safety concerns, declining quality of builds, and numerous other downsides. But I still want to check some out and just see what's out there.
Our appointment isn't until noon but already my stress is sky high and my checklist has begun ...

When I was younger the only thing I tended to worry about was if someone called me sir because I present rather masculine and this is even after shaving. I have always been MoC (Masculine of Center) which back in the day was simply called "being a tomboy" and occasionally people would call me sir if they weren't paying attention. These days, of course, it's more that people think I'm transitioning in some direction they can't determine and it comes with more a hostility than a "oops sorry".

@tyghebright so so so true. It used to be kind of ... a laugh and a ... oops kind of thing but over the decades that has changed so dramatically. The level of hostility I have experienced is just ... insane and I am not even a transperson. Just the mere HINT that I might be is enough for people to be aggressive and rude ... I can only read about and imagine in a SMALL way what it must be like for transpeople in this world.
