<snip>MtF: I am having a hard time accepting the fact that I will always be seen as a man. No matter how hard I try to explain why calling me a man, dude, guy, bro etc, to someone who thinks it's okay to misgender me because he doesn't understand why it's not, isn't okay, and that I don't expect him to understand a trans specific issue, that I know that they cannot understand it completely, and therefore aren't expected to. But on the other hand Respect is expected, unless I've not given it. No matter how hard I try to explain this to certain people, they won't get it. Which is okay, I only want them to believe me, unless I've given them a reason not.to, when I say that misgendering me hurts me<snip>
