Bird:
I hear this one often.

"I have nothing agains't your choice, but I won't call you by your chosen name"

or

"I have nothing agains't your choice" *person avoids you*

"I have nothing agains't your choice, but I see no need to change your gender to have sex with men"

and so on.

It is the toughest thing I face here in my country. People often say they are open and without discrimination, but it is not -quite so-.  Is it a common experience in other places?

xxUltraModLadyxx:
some people just are like that, everywhere. those people are just blatantly ignorant and selfish with no capacity to think of anyone other than themselves. they aren't interested in trying, so they aren't worth it if you ask me. they see everything in their two dimmensional little world that makes everything easy for them.

justmeinoz:
In the first case, as I have  have legally changed my name, I would just deliberately ignore them until they get it right.
In the second, they have saved you the trouble of ignoring a bigot.
In the third, "that's okay, because I wouldn't have sex with you at gunpoint."

Oscar Wilde described a gentleman as someone who never insults anyone by accident.  I assume the same goes for ladies.

If they are friends of you, you better start looking for other friends coz they aren't very helpfull in your transitionprocess.
if they are family, you can say you won't listen if they call you by your old name.
If they are people that don't knew you before, stop telling your story, it's not their business.
Just like Karen said, they don't have to have sex with you because you don't allowed them to have sex with you.
They are living far above their stand by saying this, you're not craving for them.
After all, when you want to have sex with a man, you want to have it with a man not with a confused narrow minded boy.
If the person avoids you....good for you, that not a lost, is it?
