There was no response, he spontaneously combusted upon seeing it like it was the face of God

Yeah it’s sad to have a dad that’s this much of an asshole.

The dad still said happy birthday and I love you only to get that text back. Older folks are exposed to a lot of propaganda and many are brainwashed (the hint in this case is the “God bless you”). Without more context I’m hesitant to call him an asshole.

Based on this small exchange I’d be more inclined to say they are both assholes.

It’s just sad that they can’t look past this and love each other regardless.

Sad that dad can’t toss away his transphobia and accept his daughter.

Daughter’s behavior is completely justifiable tho. If I was in her place, I would not look past bigotry and basic lack of respect to me

The dad wasn’t actually wishing a happy birthday. The dad was using his daughter’s birthday as an occasion to be transphobic.

The hint in this case is “God bless you”

That’s actually the abuse showing through. It’s intentional passive aggression and a manipulative speech pattern. It’s meant to imply, “God bless you, even though you’re breaking his rules and making him sad and probably going to hell”.

And before you ask, I was raised evangelical, was deeply involved in ministry, went to bible school, and even worked at a church for a few years; I know how these people think because I was one until I saw the light and ditched their religion. The number of times I’ve seen “I’ll pray for you/them”, “God bless you/them”, and such used as insults is too damn high.

So you think its OK to send a unsolicited pic of your genitaila, to your dad, given that its because he misgendered you?

Anyone sending unsolicited pics of their balooga, is never OK… In fact. It could actually be a crime. Neither of you come off well in this interaction.

You’re right, they should have just put up with more abuse. How old are you again?

I seem to be getting a good number votes in both directions, to those down voting me, do you think unsolicited cock/pussy pics are OK? Cus if you do, you are the problem. The dad is a bigot and massively in the wrong, but OP is no better with that response. Both deplorable.

Do you think a lifetime of harrassment is ok? I don’t.

Clearly you missed my point… sending indecent images to ANY unwilling and unknowing participant is deplorable and could be a sex crime. How is it different to running around a park and flashing people?
