Grrrrrr! Talked to my grandparents today... something that these days I avoid and only call every two weeks or so instead of talking once a week like we used to. My grandma knows about it but my grandpa avoids it like the plague so I haven't been able to talk to him about it, he always talks over me or hands the phone to my grandma.
So I talk to them today because it's been 3 weeks and I felt a little guilty, after all they are family and have not been outwardly hateful, my grandma even tries to understand and talks to me about it but still
She used female pronouns and my birthname a billion times when talking about how she'd talked to my dad about me. So this time I brought up work and said they all call me male and Drew but how I'd been outed and how upset it had made me. Then brought up the danger factor and how my mom calls me her son. So I calmed down.
Then I talk to my grandpa and the third thing out of his mouth is "are you sick or something?" so I say no and he says "You're sounding like an older woman"
GRRRRR! I just plainly said no grandpa my voice is dropping and he cleared his throat all uncomfortable. I know, normally I'm the first person to force male pronouns and stuff but I feel like this needs to be done face to face where he cannot avoid it but I can't see him any time soon because of work so I'm coming up with a plan to talk about it over the phone but that really pissed me off. Like seriously? Is there a need to call me she so many d*mn times?! Do you have to make me feel bad about my normally passable voice?! Now I'm questioning how deep I thought my voice had gotten
