Hey, louis, glad to see you again!
Sorry you are having to go through all this crap -- it really s*cks. The thing about recovery, as far as I'm concerned, is that it is about finding out, becoming comfortable with and accepting, and being who you really are.
...and really, whether the issues are around sex and gender or anything else, people deserve to be "called" by the name they want to be called by and people who love and respect you will do their best to try to do that if you make your wishes known to them -- I mean, unless you're like going around trying to get people to call you "Your Royal Highness," or "Supreme Master" or something like that LOL!!!!!!
....I guess, if it were me, I'd tell people what I want to be called, give them a reasonable amount of time to get used to it, and after that time had expired, I probably wouldn't respond to anything else.....and if they want to then call me a b*tch, well, that's OK, too!
Recovery is about learning what you need to do to take care of you -- and if you are "louis," then "louis" is who you need to be taking care of!
