[@skylerrosenthal5473]

So crazy to hear them referring to him as old pronouns and his dead name. It’s wild how far he’s come

[@dustin628]

It's called a dead name after transition?

[@aberdeenstuart4410]

@@dustin628 not quite! When someone transitions, they might pick a new name that fits better. The name they were born with is called a “dead name” because basically it’s dead to them. Kayde is his current name that he chose to feel comfortable. Some trans people don’t pick a new name, and lots of non-trans/cisgender people change their names too!

[@dustin628]

@@aberdeenstuart4410 thank you for the reply! I had never heard that before thank you for explaining it to me 😊

Miks drag name is based on his old name and surname.

"Dead name" is such an OTT and distasteful term

[@renkrieger9331]

Ok but like, seeing Mik in his binder years ago and now seeing him as a drag queen. My enby heart cannot take it. I´m seeing someone like me on my favorite show

[@bingobongo7335]

i don't think that's a binder, just a croptop probably. cause tiddies are still fully visible

[@mallbratgirl_3005]

yeah that’s not a binder but i fully agree, his experience and what he said on this weeks episode is how i feel to the letter i’m so glad he’s here and seeing him pre-transition gives me so much hope for my future. i wrote a bunch of other shit in the description of a clip of the episode i’m talking about it’s on my channel but yeah i’ll cut it short.

It's surreal to hear someones voice before they start T. It's like it's them but not them? So happy for Mik becoming their authentic self and finally being comfortable in their own skin. Truly an inspiration. (I use they cause I mean both Gottmik and Kade and both use different pronouns)

[@fki3nxir]

Yeah, you are on the nose, HRT is basically like a second puberty, so that voice either drops or heightens depending on testosterone or estrogen. (among other things, like, fat distribution, libido, hair/acne (i think mainly for T idk about E), height if you are still growing, etc.)
