Shouldn't there be a disclaimer that says "non-operational on weekends" or something, rather than saying "open any time"...?

Sounds like he's just giving you lip service. 

Hopefully I'm wrong.

It sounds terrible, but maybe if you SHOWED him how it made you feel.  Become sad, or even cry.  If nothing else, it might shake him up enough to think twice.

If my SO's 92 year old Mom can feel bad when she slips up and misgenders me, and then has the heart to apologize, I'm sure your Dad can do the same.  But then again, at their age, its difficult to change a lifetime of habit.  Just keep correcting him, he'll (hopefully) eventually get it.

Good luck.

My dad's the same. Even though I wrote him an email explaining everything he misgendered me. So I had to send him a text explaining how it made me feel. Now he doesn't call me anything but calls me by my real name and pronouns to other people. So sorta progress. Although refuses to apologise for misgendering me and being unsupportive.

Hope it gets better for you.
They/them pronouns preferred.

How did you get through to him?

I think it just took time; cliché as it sounds. Being on T while living at home I guess sort of helped because it made it more real as he could see the physical and mental changes happen right in front of him. And I guess now being transgender is generally mentioned more frequently in the media he can see I'm not mentally crazy and it has a biological cause; as there are others like me. Plus now I look male I think he understands that calling me female in public will make him look crazy.

I wish my neighbors would stop badgering me about weird stupid stuff I'd never even think about

They're always going around in circles trying to make trouble for whoever they've decided to target for abuse, reminds me of high school  :P

I wonder if the Planned Parenthood I'm considering going to has the gel option for T.  I really don't want to inject.....

Now that I'm rarely misgendered Randi and I are always getting asked if we want separate checks in restaurants.

:

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

I'm thinking I'm boringly old but I still don't look it enough to get respect anywhere.

I'm trying to get back into susans and I'm thinking about that.

I recently started crying in public while I was carrying a 5-pound jar of pickle spears home. I found a nostalgic nirvana cd at the library store but everybody was laughing about my large picklebaby so I got back to laughing quick.

Not long after that I tried to explain Pansy Division to my sorta-normal kid. That was confusing.

Only 29 days until surgery! Where the hell did the last 2 months go  :o. And I got two weeks until my pre op appointment; I hope I'm healthy enough to be approved  :P

It seems like my father, in his own way, has come to accept the fact that I am not interested in men.  Yesterday, he told me that I'm going to need to make more money if I wanted to date "whichever way" I go.  It just feels weird that he feels the need to mention "whichever way".  I asked him why he's making a big deal about it, and he said he wasn't because there were plenty of "those" orientation at his work.  I get that it's not intentional on his part, but it still rubs me the wrong way.  Why not "whenever you find someone"?  I told him he doesn't have to worry about that, because I have no intention of seeking someone, though.

I told my best friend, a beautiful woman that has supported me, that I would love to have a sexual and romantic relationship with her.  Unfortunately she did not take it well, and now it seems I've lost my bestie.

Good on you for being brave to say how you feel. I only wish I was that brave.
I think it's more a surprise to her and with time and discussion who knows.
Good luck and good fortune.

Treat life's difficult times as if they are normal moments, this makes the normal and special ones even more fantastic.
