my social nephew just came out as ftm. thus far my wife and i are the only ones in his circle gendering and naming him properly outside of his circle of friends. I just want to take his parents to lunch, shake them by the shoulders and yell "YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOUR SON WHY IS CALLING HIM WHAT HE WANTS TO BE CALLED TOO FAR?"

My dad doesn't misgender me, but he keeps deadnaming me, then apologizing by saying "you'll always be my little boy". I hate this so much. Why would you say that to me! It's literally the exact opposite thing I want to hear!

Do you folks think I should tell him why I started calling him "Pop"? I picked it up from Ranma 1/2 about 30 years ago. 😂

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's misgendering.

[–] AiricaFyresong@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 hours ago

You're absolutely right. I know he means well, it's just heartbreaking.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 6 hours ago

Depending how you react, he genuinely might not realize you hate it and it feels like gentle ribbing for him. Especially since he apparently accepts it otherwise

I'd gently tell him if the situation allows

[–] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

Yes, you should definitely tell him.

And then start calling him panda.

"...And this is my dad, haha yup, jk she's my mom and I'm her son."

At least that's how it would play out in my head, if I were in that situation? Idk.

Now I'm wondering how common both parent and child transitioning is, seems sorta... cute, in a weird way.

wish my dad hadn't lost his mind way back when he started messing with gender and with recreational drugs, he could've been trans (maybe become nonbinary) if he didn't have so much transphobia in him

Thats a grown ass man.

is that applicable if there was originally no hyphen?

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 8 points 7 hours ago

Wild card

I'm adding a comma before man

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 17 points 12 hours ago

Oh that is so relatable and it always makes people really awkward

How receptive the conversed is, I would diversify my options.
But clearly the unreliable DNA donor will not be getting courtesy.
For all I know, the conversed is an ally, and clearly the donor should be ignored.
