I have a subtle transphobe in my life (misgenders trans people behind theirs anyone who’d call them out’s backs) and I’m realizing my days of being in the closet are growing shorter and shorter. I’m fucking dreading dealing with this asshole

Genuinely want to tell them “use whatever pronouns for me, at least I won’t be under the misguided notion that you’re actually respecting me when I’m not around” instead of asking they use he/him

Also yes I’d love to just talk with this person and get them to understand where I’m coming from rather than being rude and kinda petty, but they have a tendency to think they know better than everyone else and that they therefore don’t need to listen to others. So, talking in a diplomatic, kinder way won’t work
