Well, yesterday was an adventure, all right. First, we were later getting going than I would have liked, then a train kept us waiting for 10 minutes, and then I lost track of mom, so by the time we got there we were both seriously stressed. But the actual event was nice, and one lady complimented me on my pigtails. Other than my relatives using the male name for me, it was a decent night.

I'm not recalling...

...have you told your relatives to call you Dorothy or is the frustration from being more than 'one' person? Either way, you got through it just fine, yes? And you're stronger today than yesterday as well! My prayers to you!

The only way to not get stressed

is to not attend a party where people won't respect you and use your name correctly and pronouns correctly.

Keep note of who disrespects you and refuse to be around them. It's the only way to differentiate those who will never accept you versus those who do, so you know who to keep around you.
