My family refuses to use my correct pronouns....

My family refuses to use my correct pronouns. Says it's "too hard." Says "it'll take time." It's been three years. They've had time. They're choosing not to try. Choosing to misgender me. Every visit is painful. Every conversation is invalidation. Every holiday is dysphoria. They say they love me. But they won't respect my identity. Won't use my name. Won't see me. That's not love. That's conditional tolerance. And I'm done accepting scraps.
