Yeah. I’m sure if you asked him, he’d say he’s being “perfectly reasonable.” He lets me come to his house and call myself whatever I want (except mom to my daughter, obviously), as long as I don’t “dress in a way that betrays my sex,” whatever nebulous thing that means. Basically just no being a woman. And of course he’ll still use my deadname, misgender me whenever he refers to me, you know how it is.
I don’t understand why your dad would be upset about that?
Because he’s a bigot, mostly. It’s not a good reason
Aww. Am I guessing you are trans, or?

That’s vulgar and I’m sorry. How petty.
