For about a year, Bratty McBratFace (SD24) has been relatively calm (still drama but mostly not affecting me) and busy with post bacc 2.0 and with Nutter GF.

SO's family has an email chain where they send updates addresses/contact information if someone moves, etc.  

Bratty has a history of sending obnoxious emails, and in 2019 kinda hijacked this email thread to send a self-righteous email to SO's whole family about pronouns, including resources for us simple minded older people to practice our gender neutral language.

So a couple of days ago, Bratty sends another email on this thread to the whole family.

Bratty started by explaining that although she originally planned to take the MCAT in May and apply to med schools this summer, she is postponing the MCAT to focus on studying for her difficult classes this semester.  (no surprise there...it would be more surprising if she actually took the MCAT LOL).  She also said she and Nutter GF like where they are living in the communal house in NorCal so plan to stay there until 'she is accepted to med school somewhere'.  This was good news to me as it keeps her far away from me, so all good.

Then Bratty goes onto say that she had news to share about her brother.  I mentioned in a prior post that SS25, Luke, recently told SO he is transitioning and wants she/her pronouns.  Now Bratty said they had Luke's permission to update the family but SO had not told anyone yet, so Bratty let that cat out of the bag.  Bratty also lectured everyone again on pronouns and asked us to refer to her 2019 email for resources to practice.

Bratty then mentions she has permission from her aunt and 3 cousins to publish their pronouns on the document with everyone's current addresses in them.  I opened the document and noticed she also published pronouns for SO, myself, and OSD Princess Leia.  SO confirmed she did not ask him (or me) for our consent first as she had said she had with her aunt and cousins.  Typical Bratty bullcrap and I made sure that SO saw this the same as I did - she asked others but not us.

Then Bratty demands that when we gather this summer for an in-person reunion that we not ask her questions about her siblings since she has limited contact with Luke and no contact with Leia.  She also demands no questions about BM Darth Vader whom she has had no contact with since 2014.  We are only allowed to ask her questions about her, Nutter, or their dog (still alive, yay!).

Of course, she just outed Luke's identity but then we aren't supposed to talk to her about Luke.  WTH.

*SIGH*.  She is just so exhausting.  I told SO I will be avoiding / grey-rocking her for the reunion after our reception (its 4 additional days after our reception in some rented air bnbs).  No response to her email so my guess is everyone's reaction is similar.  It actually did upset me and reminded me to stay disengaged with her 

Sometimes there is a glimmer of hope that she may be maturing, but then there some regression like this obnoxious and self righteous email.  SMH.
