Jane, someone calling you an 'it' is tantamount to someone calling me the N-word. It's something that I will not tolerate. If someone calls you that to your face, correct them.

I have corrected a few people & told them that i'm not offended by being called he as legally that's what I still am regardless of my mind.
The worst offender was my ex girlfriend, she was obviously hurt by my revelation & has lashed out a few times over recent months but yesterday I went to see her & we got on like best friends, we chatted for several hours & she didn't show any hostility or resentment towards me so i'm hoping we've moved on to a new level in rebuilding our friendship

It would be nice to have a neutral pronoun that didn't dehumanize me or require an explanation to folks who aren't hip to LGBT jargon. Lately I've felt kind of weird over both he and she. I'm not really quite either...but I wouldn't like being called "it". It seems too weird and distancing. I know what people are like when they consider somebody not even human.

YES MA'AM! I hate being called that....i've been called it just for being mixed too...it rarely happens but every once in a blue moon some simple minded person has to say it to make themselves feel better it drives me up a wall! cut them! lol just kidding but yes i just try to act like those types of people aren't even worth my response
