Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

My mother was the only person that continued to call me by feminine pronouns, friends, family, coworkers, strangers or otherwise. I could forgive initially but it had been years of trying and pleading with no give.
After a while it was blatantly ridiculous, bigoted and beyond "mistakes" because at that point i was burly and bearded, lol. Had to cut ties for my own mental sake and honestly physical safety. it was sad but also a relief.
Yeah I have family like this. I pass completely as a neocons Mormon daughter (look I like cottage core), I remember one time at a family function I kept being referred to as the son of so and so and everyone was so confused and even seemed to be concerned that the guy saying it was going senile or having a stroke or something
