I'm asexual but didn't have the vocabulary to understand that at the time, granted most of us didn't back then. They tried to "fix" me even though I didn't want it, along with other deep psychological abuse.

They're not in my life and I've worked through the trauma, though they've attempted to apologize and reconnect several times over the years. I just block them and move on.

They know what they did was wrong and can live with their shame and my lack of forgiveness. It must eat away at them but I could not care any less.

Thanks for the mention, I hope you can find healing as well.

One thing I'm not seeing mentioned here, and I think it's worth noting, is that if you put together any document like a DNR or a living will, it must be notarized before it can be considered legally viable. Just writing "do not resuscitate" on a piece of paper (over-simplifying but you get my point) is not going to mean anything if anybody tries to dispute it.

Best bet, go through a site like LegalZoom to get it put together if you can't afford a lawyer for a will-writing session, and make sure it's all wrapped up with a notary so you don't have to worry about someone making a decision on your behalf that you don't want.

It's actually annoying that this is being peddled as a trans related thing. It's obviously being used to gain support from the left (and likely from the cis straight allies, not the actual queer people) but will be equally likely in losing support as a result.

This is an issue that impacts everyone, but predominantly women who get married and/or divorced. If I want to change my name, obviously I'd like it to be a smooth and easy process. But among the things I hear discussed among trans people... This is very much not a concern.
