>be me, mtf repper
>work in a female-majority industry
>because there's only like 5 of us guys at my workplace, we kinda formed an informal club
>eat together during lunch hour and hang out after work to blow off steam
>one day one of our hitherto female coworkers starts dressing in men's clothes, wearing a binder, and wearing a nametag with a male name on it
>everyone just acts like nothing changed, keeps deadnaming and she/hering him
>he tries to correct people and they say "sorry" but then go back to doing it the next time they refer to him
>feel secondhand pain from watching the dead look in his eyes as he gets misgendered over and over again
>I want him to make it. I want him to have what I never can.
>talk to my friend group and tell them I want to invite coworker to hang out with us since he's a guy now.
>they seem a bit surprised but they're willing to humor me because we've been friends for years.
>next day, ask him if he wants to have lunch with us
>he seems surprised but goes along with it
>at first he just stays quiet while everyone else talks, but as he grows more comfortable he starts to make contributions to the conversation
>after a month he's basically treated as a regular
>over the next year he gets a bunch of changes on T and starts passing to customers
>at this point he's basically just one of the guys
>one day, he takes me aside
>tells me he appreciates me inviting him to the friend group
>says that I'm his role model as a man
>suddenly overcome by a wave of repressed gender dysphoria
>excuse myself
>go to the bathroom
>bawl my eyes out for half an hour about how I will never be a woman and I'll never be able to make it like he did
