Antivaxer DeNiro, sometimes enabler of Robert Fucked-up Kennedy, complicit in putting I don’t know how many thousands of children in peril, lauded for supporting one…

My respect for the guy took a huge bump in 2016, when he vocaly stated that trump was racist bully and a huge piece of shit. Great guy.

LMAO I’m sending that to my fellow trans friends

Atleast when you let people pick their own names it’s actually interesting and isn’t just “Jeff” or something (no hate to Jeff tho <3)

Their birth name is Aaron. She clearly wanted to keep it similar.

For real, if you have a chance of picking your own name, workshop it.

Mildred is a fucking great name. Airyn is a bit rougher, but in general I feel that us trans femmes have absolutely nothing on trans mascs who really do go wild with their names or end up as one of the 75% of trans guys called Ryland, or a variation thereof.

Is Mildred old enough to make a come back yet? In my mind it’s lumped in with names from about 70-100 years ago, along with Gladys, Ethel, and Phyllis. I guess Millie sounds ok, but Airyn sounds way better to me

It’s funny because I’ve seen almost the exact opposite; Trans femmes are choosing beautiful gorgeous names that fit them perfectly. Then trans mascs are just like “oh hey, I’m Steve.”

To be fair, when someone’s a Steve, they’re a Steve. There’s just no faking it. Good on those trans-men for recognizing it.

I would love to know a trans masc called Steve. I do know multiple Haydn and Rylan though! Most of the trans femmes I know either pick a perfectly fine normal name or they are a flower. So many Rose.

it’s a bit of a meme that trans people pick weird ass names. this one falls on the better side imo; usually it’s a name you’d only hear in a bingo game

“Oh yes?” hides our names behind our back “you don’t say.” “Interesting…”

I took that as tongue and cheek supportive. As in, the friend is totally cool with their friend coming out as trans, but cants get over the choice of name.

Is there a name for that type of swap humour? Where you set up a joke and the punchline plays off the less obvious point in the lead up?
