she/they

i now know i'm never coming out to my parents with my pronouns. wow.

[langedechu]

and why not?

[magicly_rose in reply to langedechu]

just had a whole discussion with my parents about respecting people's pronouns and stuff and my mom started bringing up stuff like "god created man and woman. if i'm out and someone wants me to refer to them with different pronouns, sure, but when i'm with my family i want to express my opinions" her opinions were pretty much just not respecting the person's pronouns when they aren't around. i go by she/they, and i'm fairly sure my family would not accept it

[langedechu in reply to magicly_rose]

that’s how mine are too, it sucks. Really sorry.

[magicly_rose in reply to langedechu]

its alright. i guess i just never properly thought about it. the thought of coming out to them and then thinking of them disrespecting my pronouns when i'm not there is painful. and that's literally what i was trying to explain to them that they didn't understand..

[langedechu in reply to magicly_rose]

yeah I get that. I hope you can work it out

[magicly_rose in reply to langedechu]

thanks. i think i'm honestly just going to keep my pronouns to myself when it comes to my family. they're.. highly religious. sometimes accepting, but apparently not so accepting for things like these.

[langedechu in reply to magicly_rose]

Omg sameee. I hate having to hide things like that

[magicly_rose in reply to langedechu]

me too. i guess they don't understand how pronouns can be such a part of someone and how they can literally bring joy to someone. idk. its discouraging. i kind of want to cry and i don't understand why.

[langedechu in reply to magicly_rose]

For sure for sure. I’m in the same mood but I have a reason lol. So you’re not alone

[magicly_rose in reply to langedechu]

i mean, i'm sure my sadness has to do with the whole discussion, but idk why it makes me want to cry so much. perhaps because i have "they" in my pronouns and my parents don't seem to understand them at all. idk.

[langedechu in reply to magicly_rose]

If you want to cry you shouldn’t bottle it up. Go cry. Join me lol

[magicly_rose in reply to langedechu]
