Gender-based blindness is a thing

Until now, I didn't realise this was a thing which a transman could catch. Be warned, my brothers!

Concerning my mum's missing watch. I had thought it might have been left at the hairdressers. which is just one floor down at the Beaumont. So Mike, the manager, and I looked in there on Tuesday after hours, it having gone missing the previous Friday. We saw nothing and concluded it wasn't there, because surely it would've been handed in. I was mystified because I did what I considered a police-standard search of M's apartment. [And yes, I've seen one]

Today I got an email saying the watch had been found! At the hairdresser's. I was over at the Beaumont again, delivering drugs. M's prolia, which the doc kindly rang me up at 8 am to say was due, and please see it was in the office fridge! Mike's wife Karen said she thought the failure to find was due to men looking. Mike got accused of "domestic blindness."  Karen thought I was just as useless! Of course I didn't explain why I was happy to be accused of gender-based incompetence, but so glad that one is over.

No usable data points from me. If I can't see things to find them, I assume it's from my actual blindness, not my transman blindness.

So, really? It's astonishing I can achieve any kind of organisation.
