Grandparents got offended that I don't feel comfortable with my deadname

So for context, I HATE my deadname, but its important to my Grandma, because my mom chose it for me, (my mom passed in 2021), and has said, "I'm not calling you Percy because i don't feel comfortable with it" and started saying how "is your name not 'good enough' and you need a 'better one'?" she supports my identity as a therian and non binary person.... yet got horribly offended when i asked her not to call me by my deadname, because every time someone says it, i can hear it being shouted at me by a person who hurt me, also, it's just not who i am. my grandma doesn't understand that, no, just because im in a safer space DOES NOT MEAN i will automatically heal all my trauma, and now she's freaking upset with me
any advice, im lowkey having an episode

yes. im serious about this, like, they're birds, no one owns them at the time, so, can't we just adopt birds like we do with stray animals?

edit; people are thinking i mean healthy ducks, i mean ducks that are injured and need help
