Dear Free: My reaction to your story is basically this:

When you finally decided to leave this relationship, you armed yourself with virtual grenades, followed by veiled threats and intimidation.
I assume your guy probably deserved this treatment (he chose you, after all), but if you truly felt good about the way you had handled things at the end, you wouldn’t feel compelled to ask.
Dear Amy: I have a friend with whom I often socialize. He's 65 years old and stubborn.

I used to find this annoying but would try to let it roll off my shoulders, chalking this up to his own ignorance about the gender spectrum.
Now I feel upset and angry when he uses this term because he's now referring to my own (gender transitioning) child when using this slur.
