was just running a late to pick up my brother (mostly because no one told me where it was until right before I had to leave) and overheard my dad say “well HE doesn’t GET to be called that name when he’s fucking up!” as if basic respect is a privilege 😐

Part of me wants to resort to intentionally misgendering Cis people who say shit like that just to get on their nerves, but at the same time I don’t want to stoop to their level

diva I fear the only solution is to move far away from these people and start a new life. that’s not love.

they’d find it funny & would treat their indifference to it as proof that we’re just sensitive, but I do wish I could get back at them somehow

idk, reciprocal antagonism and confidence has worked for me. it's not about humor, it's about power. once they realize they have no power it tends to calm down. especially if you make them realize you can upset and hurt their feelings worse - having more power over them than they do over you. a couple of my distant transphobic uncles leave my niece alone now because they know they'll have to deal with me humiliating them in front of our family
