@Bekah he is extremely supportive of my identity in every other aspect, and even helped me a lot when I struggled with dysphoria throughout my pregnancy (completely unplanned) it's only the "mapa" he has issues with.
@Salem that’s not supportive. If he knows you being called ‘mama’ makes you feel dysphoric and he thinks you being called ‘mapa’ which helps you feel at peace with your body and mind is stupid that’s not supportive. He doesn’t correct his family that’s not supportive. Being supportive behind closed doors isn’t supportive. I’m very sorry to say it. Conditional support isn’t support.
Imo it’s only like how some kids of mixed cultures call their family members names like yaya and nonna etc That doesn’t mess kids up You will definitely not mess your child up by inviting them to use slightly less common terminology for you, if anything it’s going to help your child understand you better and you’re just showing them it’s important to set boundaries with people and expect basic respect. You’re a good parent dw xx
@Abby question.. Why are you in an lgbtq+ group if you’re so close minded and hateful? maybe leave the group if reasonable posts like this irk you so much
@Kayleigh honestly trolls like them want attention. You’re better off blocking and reporting they’re hateful!
You’re not ruining your child’s life. I’m sorry your partner isn’t being supportive, he should not be treating you like that. I’ve seen children that had non binary parents and they had no problem calling them “mapa”. As long as you’re a loving caring parent, your child will love you no matter what.
You're not ruining her life by picking a name and encouraging the use of it. I think it would be problematic if you were scolding or spanking for the wrong name. I will say be fluid like maba may stick once she gets the hang of it. The real harm will come from him and his family if he allows them to disrespect her in the ways they are disrespecting you.
@Abby you need to take your hateful closed mind bullshit somewhere else. This obviously isn’t a place where your opinion is welcomed.
As a non-binary parent myself… I think it’s definitely better to have your kid recognize your identity mapa now. My kids are 10 and 9 and they constantly misgender me cuz i didn’t come out until a few years ago and now I just deal with it but the fact you are doing it from the beginning it’s gonna be completely normal for your child. And your partner is not supportive. He’s an ass.
@Abby I’m honestly sad my daughter shares a name with somebody so close minded.
If your partner is okay with making you uncomfortable in that regard, then they aren’t very supportive.
No. Does your partner accept you’re enby or does he secretly think you’re just playing around or something. Your partner doesn’t seem to respect you and the respect is the bare minimum you deserve
