So, I'm at the point in my social transition where all of my friends use my preferred name and pronouns (theres the occasional slip in pronoun but usually an obvious mistake), all of my teachers use my preferred name, although only half of them know why it's my preferred name (like my Spanish teacher, who I told because LOTS of Spanish words contain pronouns, my physics teacher, the principle, all that) and all of my family at least uses my preferred name and is aware why, (most just avoid using any pronoun at all). But, my mom is completely unwilling to use my preferred name or pronouns, and discourages others from using them. She scoffs and makes fun of me for any aspect of my transition, and acts like i'm just being ridiculous. It's not like I can cut her out of my life completely (I'm not old enough to move out) and I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to explain to her how important it is that she use the right name and pronouns?
I feel like it would be better if I can get my mom to actually understand, rather than making her begrudgingly use the pronouns. Also, she's kinda in charge of my food supply XD lol. But I'll try that and see if it works out, thanks XD
Use it as a last resort then lol. You could always talk to her or write a letter explaining it to her. The best advice would be to ignore her and hope she comes around on her own. I mean once you are old enough to move she might not see you again
