Betrayed

I told someone today about the name thing and she was one of the people who I thought would be the most supportive, but no. She is refusing to call me Maxine and says that though she loves me, she's going to keep calling me "Kerri." It hurts soooo bad. I almost cried and if I wasn't on my way to the gym with my weight partner I might have. But I dont want her to think I'm weak for crying. Part of me is angry, another part of me is just hurt. I can't believe she would say something like that. I expect that from my family and frankly I'd probably be ok with my parents still calling me what they named me. She was one of the people who I wanted support from the most. She was like my feminist sister. And more importantly she's supposed to be a feminist. I'm making the CHOICE to change my name and take control of my life and she's not supporting my right to make that decision.
