For those in the community, my collar broke. My partner had collard me over five years ago. A special connection and commitment. It’s gone. Just like him. And I’m never getting it back, or a replacement from him. And I have to deal with it.
My dad did a full 180 and actually supports me outside of my birth giver. When picking him up for bud job at one point over a year ago, his boss knew me as who I am and hit my deadname.
