Hey, you guys can ignore this I just want someone to see this.
Tl;dr: I still feel dysphoric about what my mother said months ago.
I can't stop thinking about this and it's been months.
Here's some context, I had a mask that says 'Gentlemen always dress well' (no I'm sure it just got lost) I noted to my mom that I really liked it, "So your a gentleman now?" I thought nothing of it and thought she was joking around. "Yeah" I replied. "You're a guy?" I panicked, like heart dropped. "No, but I am questioning." I don't remember what we said after that.
Later that day, my dog was replying to my birth name. "Why's he replying to my name?" I say jokingly that sounds serious. I swear it sounded like she sneered at me when she said this "Well you're the trying to change it so he might as well." I backed the fuck to my closet so fast I thought I was in Narnia. It still sticks with me, I think it was around October or November 2020.
It still hurts really bad when I think about it, you don't have to reply to my troubles.
