▲ 43 ▼ Am I being rude for asking to not be called "bro"? (lemmy.blahaj.zone) submitted 3 months ago by strawberry_enjoyer42@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/trans@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 comments fedilink hide all child comments Someone I live with insists on calling me "bro" and "dude", despite my repeated pleas for cessation, citing ideolect as a defence. I get that "bro" and "dude" are part of their vocabulary, but it hurts. Am I in the wrong here? P.S. Is this the right community for this kind of question?

Man, woman, cis, trans… it doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to be called something, it’s reasonable to ask that they stop. permalink fedilink source parent [–] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 months ago Bingo, this. If you don't like it, and you've explained that you don't like it, and they keep doing it, it's basically verbal abuse. Treat it as such. permalink fedilink source parent
