Why don’t cis people who don’t like their name just……

go by another one??

Why’s it even normalised that we just have to keep given names forever 😈😈😈😈📸📸

this isn’t a post related to anything, but has anyone just always been dissatisfied with their name for not-gender reasons hahaha

ooh

AMENDMENT:

I’m ofccc keeping my legal name it doesn’t “bother me” but I want a name I love, and that I chose. Problem, haha, I’m eyeing a name I already gave my oc smh. Arab problems /j (There are few Arabic names that vibe with me)

I’m curious, what were your name options? (Not looking to take them, I’m an Arab so I’m only using Arab names.)

The only restrictions for a legal US name change (outside fraud) are that you can't include weird characters or offensive language.

Elon had to change his son's name to remove numerals, but since the AE is a common Nordic letter, he was able to get away with this...

And to show just how seriously name changes are taken outside of transphobia, Macauley Culkin legally changed his name to Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin.

Dr. Rachel Levine had a legal name change. It was not a nickname (like disgraced Republican, Scooter Libby), it is her real, legal name.

I could change my name to Monkey Fighting Snakes if I wanted to. But these dipshits can't handle "Rachel."

This is an insane level of petty.

And I am too tired to even touch how stupid the term "biological name" is, so I will leave that to others.

Can’t stop fantasizing about having a discord server full of men who want to detrans me. Going on a call with them, having everyone deadnaming and misgendering me while I masturbate for a bunch of real men😵‍💫 it makes my pussy drip just thinking about it

Trans people who have legally changed your name and no longer use your deadname at all: Of the people CURRENTLY in your life, how many know your deadname?

Everyone in my life knows my deadname

ALMOST everyone in my life knows my deadname, but not all

Most people in my life know my deadname

About half of the people in my life know my deadname

Some people in my life know my deadname

Very few people in my life know my deadname

I can think of exactly one person in my life currently who knows my deadname

Nobody in my life now knows my deadname

Other/it's complicated

I'm trans and still use my given name in some or all contexts, show results

Not trans, show results

I’ve told my friends (those who didn’t know it before) but you don’t get to know and it’s weird when people try to guess.

No better feeling then the full body shiver that hits a “tboy” when you call him his deadname
