“I'm frustrated that my partner calls himself “straight”
Q: “My partner and I have been together for three years, and for the most part things are good. When we met, I was going by she/her pronouns, utilizar um link but about two years ago I came out as non-binary and started to use they/them. My partner – who is a cis man – has been supportive. He had a little trouble with my pronouns at first, but he's adjusted and makes sure to gently correct others if they misgender me. He's learned to never refer to me as a woman, and to call me his partner instead of girlfriend, so I feel like I should just be grateful. It's like he doesn't really understand who I am or is ignoring significant parts of my identity. Should I just be glad that he's generally supportive and try to get over it?
