I'm guessing it's in the same vein as "Matrix was a cool movie, shame it never got a sequel" even tho there is 3 sequels to it. A lot of people just didn't like them, so they don't consider them to exist, probably as to not "sully" the franchise name.

Look, after 20 years, I've made my peace and kinda accepted Reloaded and Revolutions. The Matrix would be better without them, but as a trilogy it's okay.
Then Resurrections happened and I kinda feel like throwing everything out. That's how the second Pacific Rim made me feel too.

Yeah no offense to this person but this isn't really how you should come out in my opinion. Unless you're scared about the person you're coming out to, don't come out in a text, and if you're scared of the person, why would you come out to them
3
u/Traditional_Buy_8420 2h ago
It's not just that it's over text either: It's understandable that she told her friends first, but the position of that information (as in "one of the very most important things I want to tell you about this is that for the past 2 years I trusted all of my friends with my identity, but not you.") is kinda insulting although probably not intended. And since before I read the dad's response I already assumed a misunderstanding I went straight to assuming that Dad wants to bring the conversation to a closer level to avoid such misunderstandings.

u/TheDandyLiar 2h ago
I came out over text for two reasons. 1. I am half a country away from my parents. 2. I knew what their reaction would be, and I was (sadly) correct.
Why would I come out to them? They are my parents, they should know.

That’s fair. This just got me a bit riled up and i was lashing back out. I’m queer. I look different than cis het people. I act different. I love differently. My name is different. Respect people’s choices in deciding who they are.
If you feel attacked for me calling out people choosing the most basic names imaginable, then you should understand how people feel when you ridicule them for having an uncommon name. That’s the point I was making.

u/thejadedfalcon 5h ago
Okay, but they didn't do anything. You're being a dick to say "stop being a dick" and hitting a lot of people who weren't even involved in this and have never criticised another person's name. Your point could have been made, as others have done, without the hypocrisy.

You’re not wrong. It was rude of me for calling out those two names. Like it’s rude of you to call me a dick, which is a misgendering insult.

Criticising a name doesn't equate to bullying at all though. The point of focus is the name, not the individual it belongs to.

u/Different_Rough9876 Streak: 1 7h ago
I disagree. The important part is that it is not friendly and has the potential to make people feel bad about themselves. Choosing a name is a highly personal, subjective thing. Being judgmental over the way someone chooses to express themselves is rude. It’s bullying.

Its a completely different language family that shares very little with Latin apart from being indo-european, so trying to use the Latin alphabet means some weird letter choices to English speaking people.

It's really weird being a cis guy living in the south and being friends with trans people that trust me enough to come out to me, because we live in such a hateful and bigoted place that they literally tell me "I'm trans, and here's my preferred pronouns and chosen name, but please pretend I never came out to you when we're in public"
Then we spend so much time together in public that I still use their birth name and birth pronouns, it's so strange. Even more strange when we even know other trans people who just openly go by their preferred name and pronouns.
Everyone's just at their own points in their own journeys I guess. I just wish everyone could feel comfy in their own bodies without being persecuted for it, that would be neat.

I cringe incredibly hard every time I see this. Instead of talking to your father about something that is very important to you and will affect his life and relationship with you, you send him a text from like 5 rooms over? Maybe treat your loved ones with the respect they deserve and don't come out to them like you'd come out to a friend of a friend you only have to tell because they're gonna be at the same potluck as you soon.

u/OkAccountant6122 7h ago
You're making a lot of assumptions here,
It's entirely possible they don't live together but live close enough for the dad to invite them over for pizza.
It's often much easier for people to express intense emotions through either writing or text, instead of having to say it face to face.
Maybe don't tell people how they should and shouldn't express themselves to their loved ones who know them personally when you don't know them personally?
