I feel called out

It’s funny cause even if someone is transphobic, on some level they do see you as valid which they’d never intentionally admit. But they will unintentionally admit it with their misandry/misogyny.

heartbreaking… beautiful statue of danny devito is AI generated

Yeah, I can totally see that being why the trope is super prevalent.

Me too, I had a non-gendered nickname based on my dead name, and was going to just have my middle chosen name be a lovely name that fit that nickname. But then I decided I hated the nickname and got sour on the idea of “making it easy” for my parents to dead name me in their heart, while using a chosen name.

Ended up not having a middle name, which is cool because I get to “legally attest” to not having a middle name sometimes which I thought was interesting.

That’s fair, I never intended to invalidate anyone’s decision to have any sort of chosen name.

But see, that’s a really great chosen name so I totally get that.

Never would judge any real person for their chosen name, I just find it silly when it’s like this in memes and stories.

that’s true

why does every trans meme assume we change our name to just the other gendered version of our dead names lol. It’s a trope at this point, but speaking as a trans woman that would be dysphoric af.

I guess, to be fair, I actually considered making my middle name similar to my dead name as a way out for my parents from the “it’s just hard for us” but I realized I hated that idea and screw them if they think respecting me is too hard for them.

Edit: btw 2 years post come out and my dad finally used my chosen name for the first time. They can change, though my dad keeps misgendering, which shows me his heart isn’t in the right place. He’s thinking “appease” me as in his heart I’m still a guy, even though he definitely glanced at my chest… guh

99% of them are delusional, and the 1% who aren’t, deserve it.

idk wth ishtu ats?

No guesses? y’all aren’t fun

I’m highly proficient in a much more self gratifying field than I was in just ~2 years ago, so I’d probably intimidate just 2 year younger me, let alone 4 or 7 year younger me.

bleh

like mayonnaise?

Pattern seeking monkey brain strikes once again.

Have you considered that US standard unit users know that and it’s just annoying when someone points it out unnecessarily for the hundredth time?

this picture is highly accurate, my last dr got me to 1440p (20/15) eyesight

Flattered to be called young but I am definitely entering my own lazy era :)
