you know when u have to misgender a friend in front of ur parents and you can like physically taste copper

people who are saying “then don’t misgender them!!” are missing the sad reality of this post. they don’t realize that 99% of the time, when someone must misgender their friend to others, it is because the friend (aka the misgendered friend) has explicitly asked them to do so. especially to parents because people talk, word gets around. if they don’t want anyone to know, then you have to respect that.
