I couldn't sleep last night, so I wrote a song, I'm going to post the lyrics, hope you like it I would love feedback, positive or negative Quasimodo Verse 1: Hide behind such a faux façade Do you know who you are? Have we pretend too long? Should I hide my face? Am I a big disgrace? Why should I conform to just fit in? I hurt no one I cause no harm I’m just trying to be who I know I am You’re so lucky that you get to be the person that you see in your reflection Pre-chorus: but I must wait to set myself free Chorus 1: Why do I have to prove who I am inside? Is it my destiny to hurt eternally? Do you know what I go through just to live my life? To feel the emptiness of a thousand lies I hate this Living like a misfit Verse 2: I’m here to stay I won’t go away I’m not going to change I’m not going to hate Myself anymore I’m tired of the pain If you can’t handle this just walk away Pre-chorus Chorus 1 Verse 3: Such a heavy hand I must detach it and relinquish all the hate for myself Chorus 1 (sans 3rd stanza) Chorus 2: What’s it worth to you to make me feel ashamed? Do you sleep well at night knowing you cause pain? Using hollow words and spiteful lies that we’re not beautiful in God’s eye and I love this proud to be a misfit

Sometimes the devil crawls up on my shoulder - Monica's advice is probably the advice you should consider going with. I think it sort chapped my rear reading this in light of the fact that you asked management if you would be able to use your chosen name...and he went to find an answer. Didn't you even ask if your name tag could reflect your chosen name? I think I pictured some almighty self-righteous gender cop taking it upon him-/herself to inform everyone of your "true" gender and "real" name, because, after all... that's who you are. It was probably one of those days I rolled outta bed the wrong way... -Michael

Yes, I have brought it up. Luckily, one of the women has been moved and the other one I only work one shift a week with her. I've taken to ignoring her until she uses the right pronouns, or just in general. She uses the wrong name, and since everyone else uses the right one she looks kind of silly. I explained to her once, I think I'm gonna explain once more to her and then go to management. Also, Thank you MonicaPz and UsernameOptional for the advice.

Congratulations on your first step to your true self :-)
