I live in a family where they mostly think being transgender is a ~delusion~, hooorrayyyyyy. I cried about it last night, and I kinda realized I don't feel like myself, and Im more of watching myself, saying I don't care about being misgendered and deadnamed when I *do* care. And Im not pangender or genderfluid or non binary. I am transgender (FtM), I do not use any and all pronouns. I am a boy, and I need to start standing up for myself as a man. They treat my cousin's fiance (a trans men) with respect and don't misgender and deadname him, they use the excuse of "they always knew him as a man". Well, its time to tell them that I use he/him. I need to set that boundary. It doesn't hurt them. I know we have free speech here in America, but that is not freedom of consequence. I have a right to stand my ground, I will be respectful, but I can stand my ground. They can think whatever they want about me in their head, what they think of me is an inside thought. So, just give me BASIC HUMAN DECENCY and respect my own, PERSONAL, wishes. Cuz you wont just go up to a cis man or women and tell them "You are not a man/women because that's biology!!!!11!!!1!1!!11!111" I'll put proof on why trans people exist in the Notes and Credits, as well as some sources on what conservative people can think.
