Dad Storming Out Of Family Wedding After Bride 'Deadnamed' His Son Praised
deadnamed his son, something considered highly offensive among transgender people.In a post shared on Reddit's popular Am I The A**hole page, which can be seen here, user u/Dadofthree explained he was a single father with three sons, one of whom is Connor, 15, who was born female and came out as transgender five years ago.The dad, 45, added he and his sons had been invited to his 35-year-old sister's wedding and said she was "pretty indifferent" about Connor's transition.He added: "Her wedding was super well organized to the last detail.
She wanted all the men to wear shirts and ties and the women, sundresses."I texted her a picture of our outfits the day before the wedding, and she said, "where's Nia's dress?" I was a bit surprised and told her not to deadname my son and that he'll be wearing a shirt and tie like the rest of [the] rest of men there or we aren't coming.
She said 'fine' and that was it."At the reception, my sister got mad that Conor was wearing a tie, but didn't say much after that.
When we sat down at our table, the card said 'Nia'. I went to my sister and she said she used 'their real name.'"I told her me and the boys are leaving and she told me 'don't you dare cause a scene at my wedding, Nia can be a guy any other day'.
