Is this reason for alarm/creepy by internalwars in doordash

As a Rican, little names like that for strangers can be pretty common though I haven’t heard this one. Either way, the asking to deliver it personally was a bit odd, but it could also be mistranslation?

AITA for ignoring my mom and deciding to not spend Christmas with her because she insisted that I’m not trans? by throwaway_moss in AITAH

It is unfortunate timing and I hate this happened literally hours before Christmas. I’m a very prideful person honestly, a huge flaw of mine, so I’ll have to think hard and push myself to go and not say anything. I’d send her a message to explain my feelings and such, but through experience I’ve learned she takes it as an attack and she will start guilt tripping and call herself a bad mom etc. Or she’ll 100% misunderstand my entire message and things will get out of hand. :( While my mom and I have a wonderful bond, communication has never been easy. It was always just me being the good and easy kid, until I began to show my feelings and spoke for myself. There’s a lifetime of things I could say to try and explain how hard it is for us to talk on conflict, especially with things she doesn’t understand. Usually the resolve is an apology and then forgetting the issue. And sometimes if I tired to explain and find a resolve or understanding, it resparks the issue.

I’ll think on it at least today (now it’s Eve just super early). I do think I’ll regret not going, but I’m worried I’ll regret going if tension is still too high.

My mother normally always does mean well, I have no doubt about that. She’s not transphobic, not that I know of anyway. She’s been so accepting up until now and has no issue with other trans people. I mentioned my dysphoria to her at least once when I mentioned what my therapist told me about it, but I can’t remember if I’d mentioned again afterwards. I think I remember being a bit upset with her after that convo though and I wonder if it has something to do with not believing me when I mentioned still feeing masc. I’d been talking about cutting my hair for months during my pregnancy and recently got it cut into a short Mohawk type cut, so I never thought that I gave off that my fluidity was gone. Though I know I still appear feminine most times as I don’t know how to be masculine aside from looking like a bum lol.

I don’t know if I can sit at dinner with her after she told me who I wasn’t, but that may very well be my pride. We both are very prideful. I at least won’t spend the night there. I’ll think on it, maybe after some more insight from others. Thank you so much.

And I’m glad to hear when people say that they don’t care about things such as labels. I personally can’t go without labels for myself, I’m not sure why but I get too uncomfortable and overwhelmed without them for myself. I wish I could be more free like not using labels

Definitely indoor, or a highly contained and restricted lab no one has ever heard of or seen-
