Lol, I don't suggest you ask her that. If she isn't trans that could be a ultimate foot in the mouth moment.   

If you think this will come up again, you need to work with Tyler. Tyler could have responded with something like "He's right Julia, you are a great cook". You could have responded "Thank you for the complement sir". If somebody deliberate choses to misgender you, you may as well return the favor. I know that Tyler has the ability from the story you told about the guy who claimed he had sexual relations with you.

It's strange how it can work out with parents. My dad was a marine, is now a cop, is a stereotypical macho guy and isn't the type of guy you would think would be accepting of a trans child. But he's the one who found my therapist and the Dr who does my hrt. He also helped me research surgeons and is paying for my surgery and sent them a deposit for the surgery date. My mom wouldn't have done any of that and wouldn't have let me start hrt at 17 either. But one supportive parent is enough. A lot of people don't even have one.

My brother was also in the Marines. Having been adopted, I didn't know him when growing up. He'll have my back at every turn. His wife is also wonderful. They were at my beck and call when I was in the hospital for back surgery, bringing me anything I asked for. I have no idea how he'd react if he heard anyone misgender me, but I'm sure it wouldn't be pretty. What could someone expect from a 6' 2" 300 pound ex marine?
