someone: i’ve know (deadname) for so long that i can’t think of them as any other name…. it’s too much effort
me:
i want to say one thing: trans and enby people don’t want your excuses. we only want you to get better at pronouns and names. we don’t want you to say sorry over and over. we just want you to think before talk. and if you do mess up? that’s totally fine, as long as you know that you messed up and fix it in the future.
examples:
Hey, Bella- OH MY GOSH i’m so so sorry! i’ll never say Bella again! please forgive me!
^ this is exactly what not to do
Hey, Bella- I mean Bee- how are you?
^ this is exactly what you should do for pronouns and names
(yes i realize this was supposed to be a shitpost i just got a little worked up)
