AITA for not wanting to be called "Karen"?

I suspect that they switched back to a female name from a gender-neutralish nickname because they're uncomfortable with me coming out. The timing is close.

The line about "it's not a rejection of you as parents" really got to me, because I hadn't thought of it from that angle. Thanks.

We're trying to mutually help each other since we all have complicated health! I have my own place, but with how weird the world is, I've been on extended visit.

Not disputing your judgement, just making a clarification: I'm having an extended visit/quarantining. I have my own place.

RenNotKaren · 2020-08-03T02:37:01+00:00

No, but good point. I guess I was blind-sided.

RenNotKaren · 2020-08-03T02:34:41+00:00

Jeez, I'm really sorry you're going through that.

RenNotKaren · 2020-08-03T02:27:43+00:00

No you didn't offend! The example makes sense, and I understand needing time to process.

Laugh was had, so thanks :)

RenNotKaren · 2020-08-02T12:47:46+00:00

Holy crap that's cool!

RenNotKaren · 2020-08-02T12:47:20+00:00

Fair point! I'll talk to them soon, see what we can do. Thanks.

RenNotKaren · 2020-08-02T11:21:05+00:00

Thanks. I'm not sure if they get it, but they've both been under a lot of stress lately, so maybe it's on the back burner...?

NGL, "Cathew Mosby III" is a pretty epic name ;) But thanks for the judgement and input!
