▲ 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?
