Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So a few months ago I came out as a trans woman, meaning I was born a man and now identify as a woman. My mom has been having a hard time dealing with my transition. She keeps calling me my deadname and says "he" instead of "she" like I prefer. My instant reaction when anyone does this is too correct them, doing so helps me feel more valid as a woman. When someone calls me a man, and I don't say anything it feels like I'm agreeing with them, which leads to hightened depression. My mom says I shouldn't correct her, because it's difficult for her to accept this all at once and she needs time. I get that and I'm not saying she has to start calling me my new name, it just helps me to correct her so I feel better. She thinks it's rude and selfish, and I'm just trying to feel valid. Who's in the wrong?
