💙 totally agree w/ all of your points. especially the medical scenarios that aren't relevant to anything, they don't need to know if it doesn't pertain to the care you're receiving.
I have multiple friends I knew back in school who have since transitioned, and it didn't take long for me to pick up on their pronouns and think of them that way. It's not that hard
I told my aunt about being trans and my name and she now calls me Sam AND She taught my baby cousins to call me Sam too! My baby cousin is 5 now and he is doing so good with gendering me right and calling me the right name, a child is doing it better than my parents. That's crazy
I agree, man. If people do it out of spite though, I avoid them and block them. I had a friend who was a support system, who turned against me over a stock - misgendering me, laughing at my recovery from TS, deadnaming me in paragraphs on text, list goes on. Sucked, but everyone else in my life are supportive - even my mother after 2 1/2 years. I still have family that do however, and I stay away from them if they pass judgement. Like your experience with misgendering, unless they haven't been around me since I transitioned or was early in it, if they are simply being an asshole to me - they obviously really have to be hyperaware of what they say especially if it is in person. If they are ever passing judgement, unless I have to see them everyday, I never waste time trying to reason with them. Those people are ignorant. I realized this after almost being attacked by a former coworker on multiple occasions and copied my shifts after I quit talking to her.
thank you for sharing and i’m sorry that happened! there have been a couple people i’ve blocked out completely but they were being really mean. if someone is making an accidental mistake i’m more patient
I'll admit, I miss gender you a lot. For me it's not that disapprove of you transitioning, I'm not apposed to it in any way, but for what, 4, 5 years I knew you as female. Every time I would talk about you it was, "she hits the drums HARD!" " I call her Lady Killsticks" "I saw her breaks 8 sticks in one show." That's been the hardest habit for me to break because I still do it from time to time. That's the hardest thing to change just because of the habit. Could be because we only see each other once or twice a year, I don't know. Just know that I do correct myself when I catch me doing it. I work with a trans dude, he's been there for about a year now, and I've never once called him a woman because as long as I've known him, he's been a male. Now if he ever chose to go back to living as a female, then I would probably miss gender him for a bit too. It don't come from a place of hate, or disapproval, but rather a place of, as bad as this sounds, "old habits are hard to break." I am working on it and trying to think more before I tell the tales of your bad ass shows, and before long I won't have to think about it at all.🙂

They say it takes 7 times of screwing something up before you get the hang of it. After that it's on you 😆
It’s okay to make mistakes!
It's different if you did it out of spite
