I'm literally about to cry right now because of my damn family. I love them, very much too. But they just don't understand. I'm not asking them to though, I'm simply asking them to stop hurting me. Just PLEASE stop using boy and son, but they can't even do it. Not that. They don't seem like they want to. They use the excuse, "It's gonna' take some time to get used to"- I DON'T CARE!! I KNOW IT WILL! IF YOU SLIP UP THAT'S FINE, JUST CORRECT YOUR WORDS OR SAY SORRY!!
I'm fine with the slip-ups, I really am, because at least they're trying. But when I ask to stop using boy or son, I get "I'll think about it". FUCK!!
I hate it. Take my words to heart and seriousness or whatever, I hate it.
I'm asking for the bare minimum of respect.
Let me ask you a question, dear reader, if someone has been calling you a term(s) that you don't like or it hurts your feelings, and you ask them to stop, should they stop depending on what it is? Well, that's what my grandma seems to think. They've called me boy or son for so many years, so it'll take a bit to get used to. Are they afraid of this change? Most likely. But have some basic respect for your loved one, SO HELP ME GOD!!

Funalos... Ok no...
Mejor ignoralos cuando te llaman así hazlos saber que si no te llaman con la forma que por respeto te gustaría, entonces no les harás caso 👺

Fellow tguy here, I’d say create consequences, fall to their level, I don’t know how strict your parents are but if they pull that off just get up and leave, respect is a two sided thing, make it obvious that if they don’t follow your request they won’t get anywhere. Don’t respond to it, act like you don’t even know who they’re talking about, treat them like a toddler that’s learning new words
I can't just... leave. I'm not even old enough, not even able to support myself yet. They're very loving and caring, but apparently they don't care when it comes to this. They still love me very much and they aren't very strict at all, if any.
I also don't have the gut to completely ignore what they like calling me. I haven't asked them to call me Madelyn yet, and I don't know any way to get them to stop using what hurts me.

If you can’t leave conversations ignoring when they call you the wrong thing will really help, I know it’s what you got used to but if someone called you a name that wasn’t yours would you look? Well you’re not a guy either so you don’t really have to look, just look around like you didn’t hear them or keep asking “what did you say I didn’t hear you” or “who?” Till they get either confused enough or get the memo, honesty just have fun with it

Ohhh, you meant leave the conversation, not move out. Woops, my mistake.
ANyway, I could do that. Maybe, I'll think about it. Thank you.
