Question

I have a pretty long one here. I'm a trans ftm (15) with a female best friend (also 15) We hang out a lot, having a good time etc.. 8 months into our friendship I came out to her, and she accepted it no problem. But... She doesn't use my preffered pronouns, despite me implementing them in our conversations. What's funny, though, is that she has another trans friend, and uses his pronouns, just fully sees him as male. That isn't the case with me, tho, as she still says she's "happy to have a female friend that...(smth)". I haven't outright confronted her about this, beacuse I'm scared of ruining our friendship. But I would feel a lot better if she saw me as a guy. What can I do in this situation?

Answer 1

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this situation. It's completely understandable that you want your best friend to see and treat you as the gender you identify with. Here are some steps you can consider taking to address the issue:

1. Choose the right time and place: When you decide to talk to your friend about this, make sure it's in a comfortable and private setting where you both have time to talk without distractions or interruptions.
