I am a Hard of Hearing transgender woman.

That I am Hard of Hearing means that I am unlikely to be able to hear specific things that may be said on comms and will likely need things repeated, often.

My profile picture on Discord is in fact me. Although I generally look female, am female, and my driver's license says I am female, I sound like a dude and have been called a man all my life. As such, regardless of whether other women can, I can not tolerate being called male terms such as: "buddy", "dude", "man", "bro", or especially "sir".

If I ask you not to call me one of these terms, please don't take it personally. It causes me pain in the form of severe dysphoria.

Thank you kindly for your understanding!
