3 months agoI’m sorry. That sucks, and they suck for not understanding. But fwiw they haven’t ejected you from their life so that’s a good sign. thanks for keeping on trying.
I’m saying this selfishly, but it would make the world a better place for everyone to have more people like them on our side. Obv take care of your sanity first.
Pre-transition: “bro”, “dawg”, “bruh”, “bruu”, “broseph”, “dude” from my friends, endearingly and ironically (I assume) since I’ve always been effeminate. From strangers mostly just “hey! you!” Some people said “brother” unironically and 🤮 unfriended instantly
Currently: when I’m alone I get “buddy” and “sir”, which is weird because basically nobody referred to me as sir pre-transition. But besides that, there’s a lot less direct references to my gender. When I’m with other girls it’s always “ladies” at least.
I hope to someday pass, sounds nice
