so this actually happened like a week and a half ago and i'm just now commenting on it but whatever
so i wrote this long long coming-out email to my best best friends telling them about my dysphoria and why i'd been wearing boys clothes and blah blah and at the end i asked them to start calling me Phoenix and using male pronouns
and so most of them were like "omg okay yeah i love you you're great blah blah"
except one person
who didn't reply
but they hadn't been talking to me lately anyway, so i didn't really think much of it
and shortly thereafter, my best best friend Jade had a way less complex way of coming out as genderfluid and asking us to stop referring to her using her birthname, and instead calling her Jade
and once again everyone was like "okay yeah you're great that's fine blah blah"
and so after that, we were hanging out, right, talking to our friend Haley over gmail and shit
but then she started talking to that one person who never emailed me back (uhhhh I'll just call them S)
and i'm not even sure what they were talking about but Jade was suddenly just like "uh S called you a her"
and she let me write this email to S and i said something like "oh my god you're so ignorant it's not that hard to replace a pronoun with a different pronoun blah blah"
and they just got so fuckin angry at that
and i don't even remember what happened exactly but finally Jade just said like "OH MY GOD I AM SO SICK OF DEALING WITH YOU. PHOENIX IS A BOY AND I AM JADE AND I AM GENDERFLUID. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT JUST STOP FUCKING TALKING TO US."
and S replied with "no. you are both girls. girls named (horrific birthname) and (horrific birthname). okay? that's what it is and you can't change that because that is who you are."
and we were both kinda just like AUGH
WHAT
HOW DAST THOU
so we told Haley about that and guess what she said
"what? who the fuck are (horrific birthname) and (horrific birthname)? you're jade and he's phoenix. S must be cracked."
and it was probably the most glorious few sentences i've ever read in my life
so
i dunno exactly why i'm posting this?
whatever
moral of the story is: for every dick that doesn't support you, there's about a million more people who will.
