I am thankful to trans women for making “Jadzia” a common and ordinary name.
(Jerboa won’t let me use Dax emoji here.)
Thank you.
I love my trans comrades (because if I do not they will destroy me with their terrifying power)
I remember back when I first started questioning my gender, not knowing I was trans yet, I used to call myself Jessica for a while. Later I realized how incredibly common that name was among trans women. It felt like every group would have at least one Jessica.
This was the issue I had when choosing my name(s) I didn’t want to pick something super common. I’ve not ran into someone with the same name after 8 years so I’m glad I made a solid choice
KJB had a bit for a minute about insecure trans girls just going to “Girl Names” website and picking the first one they find on the list to get it over with.
Five years later, Alices and Abis are out here rocking your world.
But what’s their pit bull’s name? I’m guessing Morningstar’s is “Destroyer of Worlds and Consumer of Souls”, the friendliest little goofball you’ll ever meet.
my actual (not username)femme name is super normal and also kind of androgynous and i was lucky to be told repeatedly by my mom of my “alternate girls name” when she was picking out names. i prefer using the more andro nickname too but i’m a pretty butch transgirl anyways
was one of the many first eggy things that tickled my brain.
What energy does an old lady’s name have, like Matilda?
Old lady’s name is the standard stereotypical trans girl thing to pick lol
Cackles in Gertrude
You aren’t powerful enough to invoke the name Gertrude. That’s a name for a lady who has family recipes for shit people haven’t even eaten since the great depression memorised.
Out of coincidence I picked a name that was in the top 10 most popular girl’s names for my birth year. I just liked how it sounded :meow-shining:
I keep getting disapproval from folks because I’m refusing to pick a new name and my current one is very male. Oh and people who’re otherwise very supportive pivoting to assuming I’m a she/they enbie that just doesn’t know all the lingo.
I have to be like, “Yes I know what non-binary means, and just because I don’t dress super femininely or want to change my name to Branwen or some shit, doesn’t make me one.”
trans girls with names that a boy could also have are awesome
I don’t know how normal my name is, but I strike fear into the hearts of many people. Including the people at the ER reception desk yesterday that damn near refused to remove my deadname from my wristband when I legally changed my name 7 months ago.
On what level of terrifying energy is “Erika”
terrifying even on a cis woman
