Dilemma: infantilization in the trans community

Dilemma: infantilization in the trans community | Do you know this dilemma:
The trans community has to deal with infantilization (i.e. People saying "he's a boy") yet I love calling myself a trans girl and I love being called a good girl. How do you deal with this?

Please explain more bout infantalization. I’m sorry if I seem dense, but it’s 7:30 am where I’m living and I’ve been up for 40 minutes

It's almost 1 am and I'm tired and unable to explain it (for some reason), so I have to shamefully admit that I asked AI to sum it up. I hate making AI do things for me that I could research myself, but I don't have time and I'm tired.
It's for example calling trans people "boi" or "girl" without consent, assuming or suggesting that we are immature and incapable of thinking for ourselves and making our own decisions.

Ohhhhhhh okay okay I see now. Mb I’m usually really good with words (I’m a walking dictionary) but idk why this one fried my circuits. I feel like someone calling someone else a child is one thing, but calling yourself one is different. Like, if an adult says “you don’t understand anything, you’re just a kid” to a teenager vs a teenager saying “I’m just a kid, I don’t get this stuff” is different. R u catching my gusts or do I need to fan harder

I say you be direct with them...and if they dont get that they aren't worth your time, as a Nonbinary person I would hate for that to happen to me
