Incoming long and useless rant about my trans boyfriends family lol
So, my boyfriend is trans, and his family isn't very accepting of that, but in the manipulative way where they say they're accepting, and they call him his preferred name in front of people sometimes, and overall make him think there's a chance they'll listen when really they won't. At least, from my perspective, I've met his parents like 3 times (they hate me for some reason??? They say they "don't like the way I talk to him" loll).
Anyways, he's been trying to get them to call him his preferred name for a while, and he has recently resorted to trying to get them to call him any masculine name. He said he's gonna ask his mom today what masc names she'd be willing to call him, and asked me for name suggestions that I'd "be ok with calling [him]." I listed things like I listed things like Elliott, Oliver, Calder, just some names that I think he'd like and don't sound too terrible
To the point, though, I'm really just making this post because I have a feeling that she's either (1. Not gonna call him any masc names ever or (2. Choose the stupidest sounding one that's gonna haunt him forever, in which case I'll be updating y'all as to what she said loll
#btw I would just like to clear up#while we are dating we are not exactly romantic#but I wouldn't call us platonic either???#it started as an experiment to see whether his nana would be more likely to call him a trans straight man or a lesbian#but now I think we've both gotten attached to calling each other bf/gf#that's how I mostly refer to him and he routinely makes jokes about me being “his girl”#and how he “stole my heart”#idk lol I just wanted to include that little tidbit somewhere cause this post talks a LOT about him being my bf lol#rambles#trans men are real men#trans#trans masc#<- I'm not but that is the topic of the post so I'm tagging it as such#his mom pisses me off so much#like she isn't doing any of this to be malicious and that makes it so much worse#she genuinely believes this kinda crap is ok
