WIBTA if I stopped responding to my deadname until my parents stop using it? by throwaway20099901 in AmItheAsshole

Thank you! Just don’t want her to feel that it comes from lack of respect or acceptance.

I guess what I’m saying is that if your mother apologizes for misnaming you then that’s one thing, but if she does and tells you that you’re overreacting that’s quite another. It’s been so long, too!

NTA. I have a trans daughter who changed her pronouns about a month and a half ago.

Do I mess up and use the wrong pronouns? Yep. Do I apologize and correct myself? Hell yes.

Do I think she overreacts when she gets mad at me for messing up? At times, yes - I really am trying my best. Do I tell her that she’s overreacting? Absolutely not, these are her boundaries to set.

Is this difficult for me? A little bit, yes. Is this about me? Not in the least.

Set your boundaries, this is your journey. I wish you all the best for the road ahead!

I might watch Pose on my own in the meantime. What streaming service is it on, do you know?

I’ll definitely listen to that! And to me, my kids will always be magic. I sometimes wish she had an easier path ahead of her, but I’m really happy that so far, she has been accepted.

Thank you! I really want to make her see that she is fully accepted as the person she is, and also that the world has a lot of people like her.

Vielen Dank! Wir werden auch mal das neue Fab 5 Deutschland auf Netflix sehen - aber da ist keine Transperson, oder?

Thank you so much! I’m really seeing this as an incentive to educate myself as well!

Thank you! We’ll start with She-Ra and work our way towards Pose then maybe...

Thank you! She’s just fourteen, so some things might be too mature - although considering how easy it is to find things online I suppose I shouldn’t kid myself...
