My mother was shamed into respecting me by my 6 year old daughter

I made a post recent which can be seen in my history. In short, my mother has been aware of my trans status for decades. She went to PFLAG. We had heart to heart conversations. I’ve never been gendered correctly.

A few weeks ago my six year old daughter was talking to us in the kitchen. She’s upfront in a way adults typically aren’t. My kids know me as a woman; they don’t care.

She asked why she calls me a boy if I’m a girl. Long, pregnant pause, my mother doesn’t say anything. She asks why she uses my wrong name. Another long pause. She asks why she calls me her dad because she has two moms. My mother has nothing to say.

32 years and that’s what it took. I haven’t been misgendered since. My mother was shamed by a six year old.
