Picture this: you come out as transgender to your family, and most of them are incredibly supportive. But there’s one person who just can’t seem to let it go – your uncle’s wife. She’s always trying to offend or annoy you, and last Christmas, she gifted you a transphobic book autographed with your deadname! You go no-contact with her and your uncle, but eventually, they apologize and are invited to your birthday party. But guess what? She brings another gift, and you’re not sure if you can trust her. So, you refuse to open it in front of her. Now, your cousins are calling you an a**hole. What would you do in this situation? Let’s dive into this emotional rollercoaster of a story!

Gift-Giving Gone Wrong?

After coming out as trans, our protagonist faced some challenges, especially from her uncle’s wife. Last Christmas, she received a transphobic book from her, causing her to cut ties with her aunt and uncle. Eventually, they apologized and were invited to her birthday party. But, surprise, surprise! The aunt brings a gift, despite being told not to. Our protagonist refuses to open it in front of her, causing a rift with her cousins. Later, she discovers the gift was a handmade necklace and a donation to a charity. Now, her cousins are calling her an a**hole nonstop. What do you think? Was she wrong for not opening the gift in front of her aunt? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
