Ya’ll I’m so proud of myself

So recently my mom said that she hopes my transness is a phase and I let it slide. This ain’t the first time she has said something like that.

Today I told her not to tell me such things anymore. She said she’s entitled to an opinion and I said that she doesn’t have to tell me and that she has other people to tell. She said she’ll think about it but then I told her that no, she doesn’t get to think about it because her saying these things to me is hurting me. She said fine but that she’ll refer to me as a girl on her social media cause she feels uncomfortable referring to me in a masculine sense and that I’m welcome to unsubscribe.

I know it’s a step forward half a step back, but like it’s still a step forward. And it’s one of the first time I’ve been assertive with her. So like, go me or something.
