Dec. 31st, 2016 06:37 amso my family is great, absolutely amazing and accepting, but I’ve never asked them to stop calling me “she” or “sister” or “daughter” because in general I honestly don’t give a shit about my gender - it doesn’t mean much to me
I know they know me and value the things about me that are just me
and trying to change the words they use for me just sounds inefficient and more trouble than it’s worth
but anyway today my mother spontaneously decided that instead of referring to me as her daughter, I would be henceforth known as her “spawn”
which honestly suits our dynamic right down to the ground, much better than “offspring” or what have you
especially when I am smugly beating the pants off her at star checkers
