Ouch
I accidentally got sent a letter to my parents' house with my chosen name on it instead of my deadname and the postman gave it to my mum... she was like "Espen??? Why Espen??" and I was like "..... cause i read that name somewhere and really like it" and then she was like "EsPeN??? ReAlly???"
:/ rip my heart
But you know what mum? The gays and enbys i'm texting online really like that name and agree with me that it's cool as hell so fuck off
(Better get used to it before a certain law passes soon, just saying...)

Does anyone else randomly think of their chosen name and just analyse it in your head for an hour then think "yeah I think my name's pretty cool"

Today in class my teacher said that the rules of etiquette say that if a person is transgender, you should address them ONLY by their NEW pronouns and name, and nevermind if you met them before their transitioning and know their old pronouns and deadname, AND I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR IT, OMG, AAAAAAAAAA

hey! trans and nonbinary people!
reblog this with your name, what it means, and how you chose it.
not the one you were given, not the one you hate. the one that you chose. the one that is so beautiful and right and makes you so happy.

ID: a Facebook post by That SJW the nazis warned you about:
“Shuhada' Sadaqat lost her life today. I am infuriated to see almost nobody respecting her chosen name (yes, I am aware she released music and played live otherwise. I am also aware of the impossibility that really rebranding her name like that would have been), or who she was at the end of her life.
Very few even mention that she changed her name, and converted. Those who do only mention it in a passing sentence while clearly avoiding it as much as possible.
Way to disrespect someone who suffered enough.
Let's go to sleep. Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raji'un”.

I’m pretty sure people who learn my male name with their only knowledge of me is that I like mythology they’d probably assume I named myself after the god Apollo. They are wrong I named myself after the ace attorney character

As someone who goes by a chosen name, it bugs the shit out of me when I see fanart and posts about The Last Hours that refer to Ari as Ariadne. I know that’s what she was called for most of the trilogy, but it is like a whole thing where she decides to go by Ari instead. Ari is her new name and there’s a lot of meaning behind it. It has to do with reclaiming her heritage and her own identity as an interracial adoptee and a queer person. That’s a big deal. I feel like a lot of people missed the point of her doing that because they still call her Ariadne.

One of the annoying things about being trans is trying to use your chosen name as much as possible without getting caught by your parents. Like my chosen name is decently feminine so in a vacuum my parents might understand changing my name but considering my mom has always been on high alert about me if I told her I wanted to change my name she'd be like "TRANS??!?"
Anyways the worst part has got to be all the 6D chess I have to play choosing which people to use which name for. Like I've been going to another church to separate from my parents when possible, so since I was in a space away from them I decided to use my chosen name. But then my mom brought up the possibility of my brother joining me at the church I select, and if he does that, I have to use my given name. So I've been my given name there now.
But there's no chance my family makes it to school, so I've been using my chosen name there. But one of the people who used to work at McDonald's with me is in my class, so now I have to avoid talking to him so he doesn't find out I'm going by Kestrel instead of my given name. And there are just so many things like that. I can try to keep my spaces separate, but people just move around so much that I'm bound to encounter someone in the wrong space at the wrong time. So every introduction is such a struggle, trying to figure out if I can get away with my chosen name with them, or figure out if they're ever going to get near my family or the church people. And it's just ridiculous how much planning goes into this just trying to keep myself safe.

My Name
My name is unique. I chose it for that fact. The made up language it comes from Is fully gender neutral. I chose it for that fact. It's meaning is glory Glory for me Glory for those that know me. Glory for people like me. I chose it for that fact. It's difficult to pronounce People think it's coat or Kate I don't mind it still means Glory. I go by Cody, because it's easier. Because I like it. Because Cody is the character I named myself after. Cody who is strong. Cody who is brave. Cody who is kind. Everything I want to be. I chose it for that fact. I am Kote. I am Cody. You cannot change that.

hey um. fellow trans people. when you meet someone with a stereotypical chosen name, or a noun name, or a name you think is weird, your reaction to that should not be to laugh or comment negatively on it. chosen names are deeply personal and often cultural and/or spiritual. it is not your place to comment on other peoples’ names.

Hearing your friends so effortlessly say your chosen name is so wonderful. I love my friends and they love me- not just who I was, but who I am now as well. That’s so special and rare. UGHH HAVING TRANS/NONBINARY AND SUPPORTIVE FRIENDS IS SO COOL!!💗💕💖

I hate when people ask for my name because I can't give MY name. Sometimes I get away with giving just my last name but... I don't wanna be [deadname]. I wanna be Niko. I wish I could tell that to people
