What’s In a Name?
People sometimes say “I don’t care- you will always be -birthname- to me.” to trans* people. And then they smile a friendly smile, like it’s a compliment. Like what they’re saying is your birth name defines who you are, that your character is in that name.
It’s sad hearing that. Your birth name is often decided upon your sex- what if it doesn’t “match” your gender?
Sarah feels like Zachary.
Brett feels like Britney.
Hannah feels like Jayden.
Shane feels like Teresa.
So,
“Sarah” IS Zachary.
“Brett” IS Britney.
“Hannah” IS Jayden.
“Shane” IS Teresa.
