???? O_o

Dad's just way too old school for his own good

tried to explain that Gaa identifies as a male, and so uses he/him pronouns, and dad would NOT hear of it

It's just fucking good that he doesn't know Gaa's deadname

Eventually he said "whatever, I'm not going to change my mind, you know that. If it was closer to me I'd be more adamant"

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT DAD

SURPRISE BITCH

IM GENDERFLUID

uuuugghhh

thank god my parents were more like. 'Oh! Okay then!' Dad just keeps messing up Gaacha's name but that's fine, he messes up MINE.

like, Dad thinks it's kinda odd, but he's not the type to piss on anyone's parade, and it's not like he doesn't have a few neices/nephews that were original the opposite.

Just breath in, accept that your dad is very much from the tail end of a time that because he's a man he didn't have to have any of his thought processes questioned or changed.

lmfao i tell no one my deadname anymore for this EXACT reason

and move on. It will be frustrating as hell, but it will hurt you more running at a wall then mentally flipping the wall off and heading around the wall.

no one is calling me that shit just because it's easier.

jesus fuck it was so weird using your dead name at the post office.

the old lady there ended up just laughing at me and putting 'gaacha' next to your dead name so if any mail came in under EITHER of those they'd go to my box.

thank you wonderful post lady

lmfao I've been gaacha for like five years do you know how frustrating it is when people in my family call me my deadname and I don't respond

I don't even want to think about it

i dont realise they're talking to me until they get indignant

and im like oh sorry

that's not my name

ive told you 3423423 times

snugglehugs

It's upsettingly hilarious to see that, actually.

They say your old name like, three times before you're like "OH RIGHT"

'oh they're talking to me'

I don't see why it's such a difficult switch though, your name is fairly similar in sound to your given name.

I DID THAT ON PURPOSE

IT DIDN'T WORK, CLEARLT

I understand that G and K are definitely not alike but the pronunciation otherwise is pretty identical

Oh my god

why

"I gave you this name thus you MUST use it" ?

I dunno.

My grandma and aunt don't go by their birth names, but no one pitches a fit.

My Mom goes by her middle name, but she's also respectful enough to use Gaa's name.

She's still bad at pronouns though

well there as at least tying, here's to hoping she actually works on it.

her mom does try! also no, it's not the 'i gave you this name', it's even worse lmfao

people who know my deadname have the same excuse

'I've been calling you K for years now, It's too hard to change' or 'I met you as K, so you'll always be K to me.'

thats.... kinda really fucking dumb

time to get one of these

If I lost a limb after knowing you do I still have that limb just because you say so?

because you knew me when I first had it?
