My friends constantly call me tranny, I don’t react but it’s beginning to really bother me. I hate being othered and degraded especially since a lot of my life is like that. But I feel like if I do get mad I’ll be a bad tranny and they’ll hate.
Sometimes it just really really hurts though. Like my friend I’ve been known for 7 years and I’ve always been good to. When my friends went to the mall without me and I asked why, he said “because we didn’t want you there, tranny”. And it just really hurt me, when he said it like that. I’ve been close to him for so long and he was like my best friend in middle school and it’s amazing we’re still friends.
Should I tell them to stop saying it?
Thank you. I will try to find people who treat me better. I’m gonna start slowly distancing myself from them if it doesn’t stop.
It will be hard, but you can do this. The biggest step for ending prolonged abuse is coming to the realisation that the situation is wrong in the first place and not normal at all. This is because the human mind loves habit and normalises anything if it just happens long enough. It will get easier from here on. You got this.
