Tell your T it bothers you.

My T follows my lead. For a very long time I could not say the word 'cut.' I simple called it a 'stupid thing.' I did a 'stupid thing' I would say. So he respected my decision and called it a 'stupid thing' along with me. Finally I was ready to say 'cut' so we now refer to it as that. I have never referred to myself as a 'cutter' and he would never, either. I hate that word. It makes it sounds like it's your %#@&#! job or something.

Perhaps talk to your T about this. You should be able to feel comfortable.
