Im not out to my mom yet, but my closest friends have recently started calling me Michael and its  a great feeling, it just feels right.

That is so awesome Damian!!!! I can just imagine how good it must make you feel

I still get called by my birth name
Today I had one of the most embarrassing shopping trips ever. I was looking inside a particular shop I like  One of the younger girls working there kept staring at me as I tried on some cool hats and she started to pretend to unpack random boxes close to me  Then my mum just has to ruin the moment by walking over to where I am and saying, "have you found what you want JASMINE" I pretended she was talking to my sister standing next to me, so replied back with "I know what I want!" then showed her the shoes. They didnt have the size I needed on display, so my mum asked the random girl that was watching me, "my DAUGHTER likes these shoes, do you have any in stock that SHE could try on" aaah! The girl got some, and was like "there you go man"  I didnt know what to think next.

My parents have never called me "he" they dont even try Even tho Ive asked.

Congrats Damian! 

I'm not outed, but all of my friends and most of the family call me by my nickname (it's gender neutral).

I get that all the time. ill be passing all the time in a store and then my mom will go and ruin it. even if the store ppl are using male pronouns and everything. its really anoying and embaressing. i keep meaning to talk to her about it. like i dont care about at home but in public i do.

Parents are funny creatures (I should know, I am one). I think they think that maybe if they call us SHE, my DAUGHTER, *INSERT FEMALE NAME*, that somehow it'll rub off, and we'll suddenly go "OH! I see! Yes, of COURSE I'm a girl. Silly old me", and go buy a frock. *sigh* 

maybe i guess that makes sense.
it just annoys me

Congrats damian!


Hahahahaha. So true. Mums always ruin it. You're tryin to get some attention from some girls and she would be like using female pronouns. My parents are trying. Bro and dad never used my english name and my other name, doesn't sound too girly so all good. Mum is calling me and son but there are times, she'll refer me as a girl and it annoys me but I guess it's hard for her and she gotta get used to it

sweet thats awesome!

and as for me, i'm not out to them. though i know my mom would especially call me female names/pronouns if i ever told her, just to be a dick :/
