I figured out how to get my friends to call me by the correct name and correct pronouns.
After making my topic yesterday that you guys may or may not have seen, I got frustrated because everybody who was responding was right. XD
So, today, I was sitting in some classroom with a couple of my friends during the second half of our lunch hour, but we couldn't talk because other people there were taking a test. So, I asked one of my friends for a piece of paper because she was drawing in her sketch book, and I made a sign that said,
"If you call me by my chick name, I won't respond to you.
Kthnx.
-Devyn"
Apparently that worked because after I made that sign, every person I made read it started calling me Devyn and by male pronouns. XD
I don't know why it worked, but I re-made it to look better and I'm now going to carry it around with me when somebody forgets. It seems to work and I have no idea why.
cool I'm glad you have found a solution that works, and I hope it continues to work until they can just do it on their own
Interesting solution. :laugh:
Glad it's working.
intresting......I wounder if it works on parents? ;)

I plan on coming out to my mom on...March 3rd? (That's when I go to my next therapy session.) So I'll keep my sign after that to see what happens. XD She might just get pissed off at me though.
Thought about telling her before my birthday but then thought that it wouldnt be fair for her to be mad at me if she gets mad. see she has already said that I am her daughter and nothing will change that. Well i found pills and hospitals that can change it so im not sure how she will react. she doesnt like being confronted with stuff thats close to home. will gossip end over end about other people but wont look at herself or her family. She also likes to over react so thats why Im mailing it so that she doesnt interupt me.
