Thanks, I meant more like how people say describing women as "females" is icky or those who are like "YOU DARN FEMALES!!"

I know that "females" is seen as icky when describing women or girls, but since not all women were born female and not all born females are women, would that make addressing them as such transphobic?

Oh okay, thank you so much. He did explain and I listened, I just automatically got scared. I am going to therapy, thanks. I understand better :)

I get it. I didn't mind when he got angry, but he would get snarky or not take me seriously too, and that's what made me sad even if he was mad. Plus, I calmed down and I would acknowledge he wasn't mad at me but it still rattled me, which I'm working on. I don't mind people who get angry, we all do, just not ones who can't take me seriously.
