Met with one of the kid's therapists to prepare for one of our many meetings.  The insurance company likes to waste our time with all these meetings because a lot of parents of kids with disabilities have like a lot to do and they can't keep up with all the paperwork and meetings and then the insurance company can drop your services.

 So apropos nothing that I saw in the discussion the therapist says, "You get along better with men than with women, don't you?" Which is very not true because I don't get along with anyone.

So I'm like, "Why do you ask that?"

And he says "You have a very masculine mind."

I often feel like English is my second language but unfortunately  the only language I know , because even though I know the meaning of every one of the words he used, I'm thinking that I have no idea what he just said,  or rather I have so many ideas of what he said I can't decide which one to respond to.

So with my usual lack of social aplomb I said, "We need to make sure CBHNP does not view our position as a request for an actual change of policy even though it's clear that's what we're doing because they will freak , etc etc"

And the moment when I could respond passed. Can someone transgender you against your will? Why do people talk to me anyway? I don't actually speak English and I'm pretty sure I'm not from around here.
