Dream - gender and mom

[ysobel]

Dream last night:

I was going to college classes (chorus in particular) and I had "girl days" and "boy days". Girl days I went by my regular irl name; boy days I went by Adam. This was a boy day and I was a little nervous I'd get flack for being in the soprano section as a boy, but no one even blinked.

Then my mom showed up and was being kind of interrupty and obnoxious and also referring to me as if I were a girl. The director asked who she was and why she was there -- even in the dream I was kind of amused at the "who are you" because the director was one we've both sung under -- and she was all "oh I'm her mom"

And the girl sitting next to me leaned over and said "aren't you a boy today?" in a baffled voice, like it was obvious and accepted and my mom was just being weirdly oblivious to reality

(lololol)

And then there was something about how my mom stole my wheelchair -- in the dream I could walk somewhat so I left the wheelchair at the side of the room and walked in to sit in a regular seat -- and so I grabbed her sweater sleeve to keep her from walking off, and it just stretched and stretched and stretched until the shoulder seams finally gave

this both sounds accurate to your mom and also like if you mentioned it to her she would commence crying and wondering what she had done wrong because she tries so hard

Lol yuuuuup.

(One of the reasons I haven't really come out as enby IRL is not wanting to deal with my mom's questions, confusions, and "try, fail, anguished crying" loops.)
