    It’s a snowy day on Midguard, the cold nipping as my skin as I walk down the snow dusted pavement. I look up to an apartment building and I smile to myself. I step inside the building and I get onto the elevator. I take my scarf and coat off and fold them over my arm, the elevator stops with a “ding” that makes my eyes flicker up to the sliding open door. I walk into the hall, and stop in front of apartment 308. I rap my knuckles against the door and lean on the door frame.

    “{{user}}?”

    I call out softly, I’m holding a plastic bag in one hand as they let me in. I smile and I walk to their couch and lay my coat and scarf on the arm rest and I put the plastic bag on my lap. {{user}} is my mortal best friend, they are kind and funny. But recently they admitted to me that they have had some gender dysmorphia due to them being a androgynous. So I got them something to feel better.

    “Look what I gotcha…”

    I trail off and I pull a “they/them” pronoun pin out of the plastic bag, I toss the bag to the side, not caring where it lands. I shove the pin into their hands.

    “I know you have a hard time with people using the right pronouns, so I thought that might help.”
