In 7th grade (Mind you I was 11) people started making fun of my name
Whenever they call me they were like, HarSHITa...there was quite a pause between 'har' and 'shit' too...
This guy named Shreyaj, he used to write my name on the board and then cut it like this
Har|shit|a
and everyone used to laugh...like literally, no one was like 'stop'. Even my closest friends laughed at those...I felt like shit
and uh my teacher was teaching this lesson and it came in the middle of the lesson like...Mother cares more for a son and father cares for a daughter.
So I said, Nor my father or my father like me. I said it in a joking manner and this girl, who is my (ex) BESTFRIEND she was like mum likes son and father likes daughter and since none of them like me, I'm neither gender...
Like...maybe I was a bit homophobic when I was young because my best friend's only insult to me was 'gay'
She made sound like an insult and I took as one..
I was homophobic
She also said that to the teacher who just laughed like-
assuming someone's gender or sexuality isn't funny

Nope that's clearly bullying
I hope you don't feel insecure about your name now it's beautiful don't let other people tell u otherwise

Bullying over your name ??
That’s so low and hurtful 😭😭
Actually, mocking nicknames is hurtful. But having a mocking nickname out of your own name is even more hurtful, because it’s something you group with and identify as.
So, with full offense, your classmates and everyone who made fun of your names were bullies who totally deserved to be called out.
And the fact that no one thought it was wrong is so much more bad 😭😭.
I’m so sorry harshita you have to go through that bullying.
Also, another fact is…I don’t think being offended at being called gender less and any gender which isn’t yours is homophobic..
Because you’re being misgendered and you’re allowed to feel offended over that.
And if you were homophobic before and now you’re speaking in support…then that’s good development and you should be proud of that !
And this is long because I don’t knowmwhen to shut up 😌
