So I came out to my mom as genderfluid, and I started calling myself Jamie. Jamie is the name I choose to go by and I do not use my birth name. All my friends call me Jamie, my girlfriend calls me Jamie, I own things with the name Jamie on them.
I'm OK they don't use my pronouns they/them/theirs. I know that's hard to change. But my mom even COMPLAINED about my name. "You know I went through all that trouble of picking a name the could easily be changed to be gender neutral and you don't use it,"
The reason I don't use it is because it's basically attached to my original gender.
Also, when my mom doesn't use my name, she calls me things like baby girl, and sweetie. It's bugs the heck out of me!
Why does my mom act like this?
