whenever I ask my parents to stop using my deadname my mom says “I don’t have all of the answers, all I know is that I love you.” Which is code for No.
“if you actually loved me you’d respect my wishes and stop hurting me with that name”

a lot of ppls parents are too defensive and stubborn for that response. id go for a "thats okay, i have all the answers. ask away :)"

no, my mom will say that she picked my birth name for me and by getting rid of it I’m rejecting the first gift she and my dad gave me and I’m hurting her.

yikes. does she still use the pacifier she got as a baby? that was one of her parents first gifts to her too. sometimes people age out of gifts and its not about the person who gave it to you. good luck
