i 18f AMAB and my friends, ben 17m, and alex 18f have been friends since my sophomore year of high school. i’m not out as trans to anyone at school or anywhere but a few weeks ago, i told ben that i’m genderfluid, because i wasn’t ready to tell them that i’m trans. since then, i feel like ben has been saying things that really trigger my dysphoria such as “hey, dude” or “this guy” referring to me.the reason i feel like i’m overreacting is because i never said that i didn’t want to be referred to like that after he did it, but i feel like it should be obvious, since when i told them that i’m genderfluid, i told that that i don’t want to be seen as a boy, and that being referred to as one makes me dysphoric so i shouldn’t have to keep telling them to stop doing something that blatantly transphobic. they also have been friends with this other boy that goes to our school and has been homophobic and racist to me, and barely even said anything about it when it happened.
sorry for the long text i just want to know if i’m overreacting or not
