We all have an opinion about gender but would being misgendered change the way you think? In sharing your experience and the shame, hurt and confusion you felt, you've challenged all of us to confront our own prejudices. It’s a powerful piece because you put us in a unique situation that perhaps most won’t ever have to face. It’s a prompt for self-reflection and will hopefully start useful conversation. It will definitely leave people thinking. Thank you for sharing it here with MW readers Ellen.
