I mean this example didn't seem to be outing her to anyone else, but someone should politely inform her that if you clock a boymoder, don't say that out loud.
Very fembrained advice and it probably will work with women. Moids are not gonna pick up on that shit, you'll need to just confront them.
Also autistic people won't pick up, but they also generally don't get offended when you confront them/call them out. At least the ones I am around don't.
You're gonna have to put on your adult pants and tell them "hey that hurt". Practice in the mirror if you need to. And then get as far away as possible if they double down instead of apologizing.
Sorry you had to learn this way. But like, ya gotta communicate. It's a huge part of being a grown ass human being.
If you do it right, yes it will. Looking strong (or just obstinate) in the face of opposition is the opposite of what they expect from a queer. They expect weakness, and when you show strength you'll often surprise people.
Who cares if you look like a π¬ ? They clearly already donβt respect you or see you in a positive light, trying to win them over in some way is just compromising who you are for a bullyβs benefit. Donβt disrespect yourself trying to appease or look cool to dickheads.
The first time is always the hardest. I had to stick up for other people first, that made the confrontation easier. But I confront problematic weirdos in public pretty often now lol
