I have no memory of this. All these years later, how should I respond?
Ask Amy: My wife’s family is horrible to me, and she pretends it’s not happeningIn her email, Shari stated that she remembered me doing the same thing and told me to stop taking pictures of people without their permission.
However, if you would like to preserve or try to revive a friendship with Shari, you might reply, “I have never knowingly taken a picture of another person without their permission, and as this seems to have happened at least 10 years ago, I cannot remember this incident. All the same, it is obvious that this has been on your mind and heart for a long time, and I’m very sorry you’ve been holding onto this for so long without mentioning it to me.
I have to make choices every day between the discomfort of getting misgendered and the vulnerability of correcting others, and I accept this as part of my daily life as an openly nonbinary individual.
