So I visited with my mom recently, and it was really jarring. Like all my friends that I'm usually around call me "they" and refer to me neutrally. Then my mom comes outta left field still calling me "she" and her "daughter" and I kinda felt sick and it triggered a lot of dysphoria. Like, I love my mom, I really do, she's funny and goofy and supportive. But this is one place she continues to let me down. And it's hard to bring up because she can be really defensive and has "gas lighter" tendencies. I just don't know what to do.....
