Wrong pronouns theories

[Jeatyn]

I've never gotten the "you're lucky" response either. Closest I've gotten is along the lines of "lots of people don't like their bodies, I wish I was thinner/taller/blah"

I think for me it's that they just don't want to. Whenever I correct people i know they'll say "well your not a guy so Im not gonna call you one, your stupid your not a guy your a girl". All attempt of explaining go out the window. The thing is is that i pass 110% of the time in public, ive never been she'd by someone i dont know.
My Aunt says im too young to know who i am and how i feel so she wont call me he. ill be 18 in 8months, ive been out for 7 yrs i think i know who i am and im on T.
My mom has flat out said she doesnt give a crap shes gonna call me what she want regardless of how hurtful it is.

That's the one that bites the most.  It's far easier to cut out friends and acquaintances who are disrespectful.  Family being disrespectful hurts that much more, and the relationships harder to dismiss.  Hang in there.
