As the quote unquote autistic gay website, i am reaching out here for help.
For context, im a trans guy BOOM there you have it. I go to a small country school less then 100 kids. Im out and i TRY to go by Käi (pronounced kay), he/him.
As you may have guessed, this is not a very welcomed topic for most people. The exception being 90% of the teachers and my bestfriend, which all slip up from time to time. (Which is fine i get it, shit happens.) the others, on the other hand, go out of theyre way to not use my preferred shit. For example, a frequent experience i endure; "hey (deadname)!" Ill correct them, walk away to the lovely tune of "okay (deadname)!"
How do i correct them, while still being polite and possibly even getting them to listen. I have quietly corrected them, ignored them, faced them straight on, announced it, and just continuously drop it in conversations. I told the principal and she sent out a email to all the teachers, i have tried to ask why its funny, i have called them by the wrong name, i have ignore them until they get it right.
I am done with my narrow minded classmates. (I have accepted long ago that adults very rarely change. I'm trying to fix my peers futures.)
Any advice. Please. I'm not taking this homophobia any more. I know, i am not the only trans person in my school. I want them to be safe. What do i do. Thank you for your time
why is it so socially acceptable for bigots to go off as much as they want. to say whatever hateful shit they want and be as mean and rude as they want. but when someone goes “actually, maybe don’t say/do that” it’s,
“don’t push your views on me.” “i can have my own opinion” “yall’re all so sensitive” “back in my day” blah blah. make it make sense, pls. i really don’t understand why.
and it’ll only get worse bc of EO 11246 (equal employment opportunity laws. the shit signed in 1964-ish) being revoked by trump. so now people can be even shittier and get away with it in the work place. and that’s only the start
(did yall hear about a potential Anti-Christian Bias task force possibly being implemented. or whatever. allegedly. pure bs)
(you know they’d never do an Anti-Islam Bias task force. or Anti-Judaism. or Anti-literally any other religion.)
