I'm not fully out of the closet when it comes to my gender, but I have told a few people my pronouns and I'm usually wearing pronoun bracelets. At least 3/4 of these people keep using She/Her and I really don't want them to do this. It really hurts when they do and I hate confrontation and don't wish to sound like a jerk so I let it slide. Of course this ideology only causes me getting pushed into the closet further. Nevertheless, I have corrected my mother a few times and each time she makes me out to be the attacker. I do realize that I'm not being fully fair to my mother as I empathize on the factors that being a single parent is hard. Much less being a single parent of a middleschooler with Aspergers who is going through his middle school phase of being a jerk and the mess that I am. Nor am I calling her out as homophobic or trans-phobic, she just doesn't under the feeling of being mispronounced and is very anti-labels. However, what I think I'm really trying to get at here with is how can I correct my pronouns in a way that is respectable to all parties.
