The first time my dad called me that…I nearly cried. Only to immediately go back to the old way of calling me 🙃
Oh well. He tries…

    Only fair for many to code Your persona as old deadname self, swapping, going against lifetime habits, it’s not easy for our families and friends to swap that. Have to give them time, if only they trying, it’s awesome.

    Gz on having friends in them.

      Yeah, it’s just…throughout my childhood, he kept telling me how he’d always unconditionally support me, no matter who I grew up to be. He’s known for more than a year now. He’s paying for my SRS for fuck’s sake. He’s supportive. And yet…he still struggles with it so much. It hurts.

      But I guess I get it. I mean, he is sponsoring my life-changing surgery and to be clear, I’m nothing but grateful. I should shut up, I’m just a spoiled brat anyway…

        Man Yourself. I’m a fox

        If someone changes names daily, well, it may be messy. Most of us do big change once per life, picking own name… it’s not exactly our faults, our parents gave us wrong one (even if based on their best wishes).
