You’re absolutely right. I know he means well, it’s just heartbreaking.

My dad doesn’t misgender me, but he keeps deadnaming me, then apologizing by saying “you’ll always be my little boy”. I hate this so much. Why would you say that to me! It’s literally the exact opposite thing I want to hear!

Do you folks think I should tell him why I started calling him “Pop”? I picked it up from Ranma 1/2 about 30 years ago. 😂

I mainly come off as “flowery elf child 1960s hippie witchy gothic Zen”, wearing every piece of my homemade jewelry, looking like I just smoked an eighth of indica, and smelling like I just came from a Morrocan bazaar. I call it “the toasted fairy”. :3
