I'm gonna admit I haven't read all the responses in full detail and while it would probably be the reasonable thing to try initiating a talk with them again, I know I wouldn't. If you're anything like me you probably only have a couple of friends but hold them very close to your heart. As such I expect more of them than people who tend to mostly have casual social connections might. I'm lowkey sensitive and there's a decent amount of stuff that pisses me off that is definitely a me thing and in those situations I'm usually willing to reach out and talk to them about it. But if they pulled something like this on me you can bet your ass that they would no longer be considered a best friend. I'm not sure how deep you guys' friendship is but my friends know me to a decent extent and KNOW that something like this would trigger the fuck out of me. Considering you spent a lot of time and effort into your cosplay, paid the expenses to go and attend the con and were then left alone when you were expecting to spend some quality time with your bestie, this wouldn't be acceptable for me. But then again reading this "You have to contact me! I have a large friend group and I can remember all of you guys unless you contact me!" is a huge tell on you guys' dynamic to be honest. Obviously it's not necessary that she feels the same way about you but her actions speak kind of the same tune. I've seen multiple people mention there possibly being legitimate reasons for treating you like this and asking you to reach out to figure out if there in fact were, but I'm at a point where I expect my friends to be aware enough to communicate if shit goes down that interferes with possible plans. But again, you know her better, so that's your call. Just my 2 cents, sorry for speaking so much about my own mindsets - I'm a little bit of a narci. :^) Sorry you had to experience that shit, it actually made me angry just reading it.

Same. The way I see it: Cross dressing = Wearing clothes not designed for your gender. Trap = Trying to pass yourself off as the opposite gender. Just cross dressing at its next level. Trans = Choosing to become the gender you perceive yourself as being, despite not being born as that.

For your mum, try some massage vouchers? That or any soothing smells. Yankee candle had a sale recently for black Friday. Father; Amazon gift card so he can avoid going out to buy groceries or household items (Amazon Fresh and reg Amazon). A good personal injury attorney... Lol jk but no really he should look into one that works on a contingency basis (if they win the case they take from the settlement rather than charge hourly upfront) Those smart bulbs + Alexa + Nest. All these should help him avoid moving. He can sync those bulbs and nest to his phone so he can manipulate the lights and temperature through his phone. Brother; leggos, tickets to see a wrestling show, paid year of Spotify or apple music?
