This guy who bullied me in school

I'm transgender. Female to male. I've been going through hormone therapy since I was 18 and I'm 26 now. So when I was in high school there was this guy who picked on me. Said I was a slut, a bitch, all that shit. Would call me ugly and mock me. Well when I came out as transgender when I was 16, my parents kicked me out and told me to go kill myself.... Yep... I was in a teen homeless shelter and still went to school. I changed my name from Destiny to Dylan, which everyone still called me Destiny and I couldn't get it legally changed. Here's the weird part. My bully CALLED ME DYLAN AND USED MY CORRECT PRONOUNS!!! He started giving me insults that's more directed towards guys I guess. He called me a fag. Made fun of me shoes. Literally said "Look at this dude's shoes". Pushed me into a locker. But he was one of the only people who used my correct pronouns. My BULLY respected me more than my PARENTS! And that was such a confusing time for me because he's bullying me... Yet respecting my gender. The only one respecting my gender. And since he called me h, all his friends called me he, and then everyone else started calling me he and by Dylan. So this popular boys bullying, got people to respect my gender.... I still have no idea how to feel about that to this day. And I ran into him at Walmart and he called me Dylan and apologized for being an ass. And I forgave him. Same day I got a friend request from him and his Facebook has the pansexual flag.
