Trans people who have gonzo bananas names vs. trans people who have really normal-ass names is the same spectrum as wild-looking hybrid sparkledog furries vs. realistically patterned furries with day jobs
“I’m Steve Meadows, and this is my friend, Ursula Knives Atomwitch”
BUT DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER: Ursula is into gardening, baking and bicycling on sunny weekends. Steve digs holes for fun and writes an ongoing 20,000 word hardcore BDSM fanfic centered around a pair of frumpy old dudes from 70s television
@irisjaycomics Been thinking about that, actually, since I will have a chance to change my name coming up, and was thinking "fuck it, going to go weird" because Madison Scott-Clary is just so normal, because I just want more experience of that spectrum :3
@makyo you obviously don't need my permission, but perhaps my encouragement could we accepted? Because I definitely would cheerlead for the fun options:)
@leinir 'Madison Rye Progress' is technically on the paperwork already! I have time to change that before the divorce is settled, though~
@makyo yeah sometimes i wish i had picked a different middle name just to spice things up. there's always lying about it in casual social situations, i suppose
