“So when my parents misgender me, it’s a knife in my heart because they’re the people whose opinions matter more to me than anybody else’s.”
It’s a fidget-spinner of the mind. One more thing to obsess about as an angst filled youth. No wonder they take so many drugs, so they can enter a psychotic state, and obsess about more things. And then go on fakebook and go on and on about how each of their separate identities makes them so special.
Keeping up with the Joneses has shifted and now you’ve gotta try to keep up with the Janes too!

The proper response to “I feel gender confused” is to say “yes, I understand. It is a mental illness, similar to Anorexia. We will seek treatment for you.”
NOT “You need to coddle your confusion which will get worse the more you give into it by dressing and acting like a freak and demanding societal acceptance of your problem. You will probably commit suicide at a very young age*. Sorry, kid.”

Young lady, when you "misgender" yourself, it's a knife in their heart. Make no mistake about it, your parents damn sure know your correct gender.
