My partner keeps deadnaming and misgendering me, we've been dating for 2 months. - FTM

https://old.reddit.com/r/ftm/comments/wdf5w5/problems?sort=controversial

Every time we hang out he misgenders me, I keep explaining to him, that I don't like it and I don't like my name and he keeps doing it. He refuses to call me by my chosen name, he sends me "cute" stuff he found with my deadname on it.... And I just can't.. I mean I love the guy but holy shit how many times I need to explain... I'm 30 and he is 36 btw...

I once tried coming out to a then-partner by telling him I use they pronouns. He responded, “oh, I just use whatever comes to mind when I see the person” and I tried explaining what I meant but he changed the subject. I later did successfully come out to him but I noticed he would use “they/them” to refer to all our female friends. I tried calling him out on it and he said he hadn’t noticed, shrugged it off.

"You what? I wasn't listening. You use pronouns? Oh, me too, I use them all the time."

Getting what you asked for isn't enough if he's unconsciously using gender neutral pronouns to refer to other people too

Masculinity is about pronouns. The more you use he/him pronouns, the more masculine you are.

Using "they" inappropriately rocks, enjoy it while you can!
