...that when I was eight, my southerner dad was like "you call me sir as a sign of respect and i call you ma'am as a sign of respect, that's why those words are MANDATORY for everyone to use for everyone," but I told him I didn't like "ma'am" and asked him to use "sir" instead and he DID....
... (for like a week). Fucking bananas that I was the six year old "girl" who insisted on running around topless because my "brother" could. That I was allowed to like dinosaurs and the outdoors and not forced to play house or whatever the fuck....
But then along came the Far Right with the big scary TRANS PANIC, and now like a year and a half ago now my dad and my half-sister who used to be at least semi-accepting are now fully estranged from what's left of our family because they chose hate and fear over "family."
