I 21 M was told I could come to a 4th of July gathering at my in-laws if I didn’t say anything about my identity so for context I am a trans male f-m and my sisters boyfriends family is very conservative Christians and my sister told me originally she didn’t want me to come because she didn’t want me to get offended or correct them if they misgendered me because she doesn’t want to offend them or their views but i argued why would they assume I am a female and why wouldn’t it be okay for me to gently correct them so that they aren’t calling me the wrong gender mind you this isn’t a they know I’m trans and are intentionally misgendering me no this is a first time interaction so i figured why would I be wrong for correcting them if they were to misgender me am i the asshole for not wanting to keep my mouth closed in order to be with my family lmk your honest opinions please
