In the recent social confidence gained from the exposure therapy I've been doing, I have foolishly decided to join in on a family dinner...the amount of deadnaming and misgendering after 1.5 years of being out..
I remember why I isolated myself. Theres also this incessant refusal to believe in any plans I make for my future. I wanted to believe that I was just too reactive or sensitive to my familys criticism/disapproval but no, they actually suck

It wasn't the "whoopsie" kind of misgendering either it was the "I fundamentally disbelieve your personhood" kind of misgendering. And just.. Jesus christ. Sometimes, with my family, its almost fine, other times its absolutely terrible. Today was absolutely terrible.
