My abusive sibling is still effing misogynistic, seriously. With his "you have my blessing" if I leave this job, or whatever? I'm not asking him or our parents for their effing approval. You don't own me just because you're Assigned Male At Birth and I'm Assigned Female at Birth. Also it's ridiculous that I would need the "blessing" of a parasitic deadbeat who doesn't contribute to the household and who sadistically beat the crap out of me when we were growing up. Sure, it's "just words" but the choice of words, omg. I nearly told him to go eff himself.

It's NOT the first time he's said that. The first time was when I was informing him of the existence of my partner. I wasn't looking for his approval, I was STATING something.

The older males in my family seriously piss me off.
