I assume you are all talking about Jammidodger, the man in the video? First of all, WHY ARE USING THE WRONG PRONOUNS?? Some men do have periods and some men lactate. HE IS NOT A LESBIAN💀 First of all it’s impossible since he is a man, sec of all, he identifies as BI. “tries to look like a boy (and is failing)” excuse me what? He passes very well, if I met him in public I would think it’s a handsome man (bcs it is) but still. Even if you think he failes at LOOKING manly, THEN YOU STILL HAVE NO RIGHTS TO USE THE WRONG PRONOUNS AND SAY THAT HE IS A WOMAN BECAUSE YOU CAN IDENTIFY AS A MAN MENTALLY!!!!

Remember everyone, when talking about a trans person before they came out, please do not use their deadname and old pronouns! Referring to someone with their old name and pronouns can be very dysphoria. It’s kind of hard to get used to at first, but after a while it becomes second nature. Have a nice day!

[@Lisa_Flowers]

Unless they specify otherwise of course. Some nonbinary or binary trans people (few, but some) don't mind or do so themselves because they do genuinely feel like the past they lived as a different/wrong gender is a part of their experience they don't want to forget. But this is rare and the general rule should definitely be assume they do NOT want to be referred to as their old name and pronouns unless it is clearly stated otherwise. Just wanted to add that nuance.

[@autumnnal]

[@LordTyrannide]

I came out as a transwoman in the latter part of last year, and the most awkward/funny thing was when not everyone was aware of it at my workplace. So we had folks using the correct pronouns, and those who were not up to date due to the rotating shifts using the old ones along with my old name. And when corrected, basically all would apologize profusely for their mistake, it was very heartwarming. There's also the boss, who wasn't aware yet, and who I wanted to bring the situation up to myself- but a coworker accidentally talked about it thinking he was aware. He was kind enough to act as if he didn't know so that I'd be comfortable talking about it, and wouldn't be mad at the poor guy who slipped up. They're all sweet people.

I have a friend who is not trans but does have a "deadname" of sorts. She never liked her first name nor the association of her last name with her family. She at first went by a nickname but it reminded her too much of her given name. She started going by just her first initial and her middle name as her last name. She's a writer so she used it as her nom de plume as well as with her friends. When she decided she wanted to change her name legally she had to create a new first name since you aren't allowed to have an initial as your legal name. She found a spelling that sounds like her initial. She picked out a lovely new middle name (since her prev middle is now her last). She is so happy to have her chosen name be official now. I've never met her family but they deadname her on Facebook all the time.

[@Statuess]

I also have a cis friend who always goes by her middle name, although I don't THINK she has any plans to change it legally, so it's definitely not an exclusively trans thing! I also changed my nickname when I was around 15 and have noticed that some people who knew me from childhood have made an effort to use my 'new' name (the stakes aren't as high as with many trans people, though; I feel odd when people use my old nickname because it's so rare nowadays, but I don't mind that much, and like my full first name as well).

[@My_mid-victorian_crisis]

You know what is so much more interesting than knowing a deadname.... Finding out why and how the correct name was chosen. Honesty, I've been honored to know a few people's deadnames, but I would much rather know the history of the living name.

Sharing a quick little happy story! I came out as non-binary a few months ago, and today I told my mom I also identify as trans and that I’m going to change both my first and last name this current year. I explained her why etc etc and she was very understanding and accepting of it. The whole thing did make her cry, but she told me it’s more because she’s happy that I told her and that I know who I am/what I want. Then after our chat, we went to the mall and when she called me over to check something out she went “hey Este-wait, hey Ezra!” And I nearly cried in the store lol because she said she would dk her best to call me Ezra from now on and she got me cool Lucky Cat socks as a ‘rebirth gift’ as she called it🥺

That last story reminds me of a time when my aunt decided to write a book on our family history to give to everyone and she asked me to preaprove the passage which went " "deadname" now "current name" lives with "wrong pronoun" husband... "wrong pronoun" is a stay at home "wrong gender" to "wrong pronoun" kids." She corrected the pronouns, but she refused to get rid of the name stating that she doesn't want to confuse anyone.

Ftm story time - I was recently in hospital with pneumonia (again) and I was there for 12ish days. For the first week I was on so much oxygen I wasn't allowed to walk to the bathroom and had to use a commode instead. Anyways i am ftm and have been out for 10 years and on t for 6, I have a full beard and basically no hair but I haven't had any surgery due to mental health. Soo the awkward part of this story time - every time I needed a wee (which was a lot because I have massive anxiety) I had to ask for the loo and everyone just assumed I needed a "bottle" because of the way I looked. Which is great because it means I pass extremely well. But I basically had to out myself every time I needed the loo and tell every new nurse that i couldn't use a bottle which was extremely awkward and annoyed but eventually they just left a commode on the ward specifically for me haha. So yes awkward because I had to out myself alot but it's also really nice to know that I pass well enough that this happened :P Anyways I am okay and am home now btw so please noone worry.

But now for the first time I realized that my parents are growing older. Because they have a bit of a harder time getting used to my now non-binary siblings new name (not in a rejecting way) and it my mom also happened to say something close to “That’s probably just because you haven’t experienced s*x yet, once you’ve experienced that, I’m sure you’ll know that feeling.” about asexuality. But I’m so proud of her because soon after she herself realized, that what she said was critical and could be very invalidating and told me that she still needed to learn a lot about LGBTQ+.

I have a transfail if anyone would like to read I'm a trans FtM who hasn't started T and I'm really into the game League of Legends and about a year ago my bestfriend invited me to play a game with him and one of his friends. Right of the bat I was terrified of this person; extremely extroverted, a litteral mountain of a person, not affraid to speak his thoughts and very intimidating. The very first thing he asked me was if I was a guy or a girl and I told him I was a guy which he then never questioned, but I did get the nickname twink and tomboy. And when I said I was terrified; I mean I was shaking the entire 3 matches I played with them and promised myself afterwards to never play with people I don't know ever again. But I got dragged into more games and conversations with this guy and we ended up speaking almost every day. After one or two months I get a message from him asking if I'm trans and I realise that another person from my school had outed me and my thoughts immediately went to "He's gonna kill me" but no, he was just very confused and apologized a lot. He did know that my bestfriend's bestfriend was trans but it never clicked for him that it was me. I still talk to the guy and now he is one of my favourite people despite how scared I was at first.

This reminds me of me coming out story to my therapist. I was very nervous about it and wrote down in my head what I should say, because last time she saw me was so long ago, I even had long hair back than. So I go there nervous af but prepared what to say. She opens the door, sees my hair and says: "Hey, I expected a girl with long hair" le me: "here's a boy with short" (awkward fingersnipping guns) and she had just this exact look in her face for some minutes ( °○° )! While my brain just insulted itself about this comeback line. After a while we had a good laugh at it though and she turned out to be very supportive.

Harder to set off than a bundle of wet fire crackers, marched out of his room and screamed, "What the fuck is wrong with you, SHE!!! Is my sister, and SHE!!!, is a human. And SHE!!! Deserves love the same as anyone else weather she's a (t-slur) or not. You're the ones who are disgusting". I was just so shocked it took me a full 10 minutes before I realized that he used a slur. I brought is up later in private thanking him for standing up for me. But pointing out that that word is actually a slur.

I just,, never really thought about that channel in how their position on trans people having rights (which I know shouldn't be a debate at all but), so I was really glad that they supported trans people. :) The comment section on posts regarding the fundraiser were really wholesome, as well as one or two people asking about what being trans was, people kindly explaining what it is, and minimum transphobia overall.

I remember my first exposure to trans people was learning that my friend was/is trans. At the time I had no idea what being trans meant and the friend was mostly only out to the band(which I wasn’t in). We were waiting to go lunch at school and I saw my friend and decided to say hi. I called his dead name(because I didn’t know) and his girlfriend turned and started screaming at me and berating me to the point I started to tear up. After she stopped, he calmly apologized and explained that he’s trans, what that meant, his pronouns and name, and just did really well to be nice, understanding, and informative. I was terrified of his girlfriend after that and was, secretly, ecstatic when they broke up. This started my journey to research transgender and learning about nonbinary identities. That’s how I eventually learned that I’m agender and now some moments in my life make a lot of sense. The most notable being when I was 12-13 years old and having a conversation with my grandma, great grandma, and brother. Somehow or another, the conversation turned to breasts and I said, “I wish I didn’t have breasts; they’re annoying.” My grandma replied that I didn’t have any(why would you say that to your 12-13 year old granddaughter?). My brother went silent and(if I remember correctly) my great grandma did a double take before going silent as well. After a little pause, I told my grandma that my breasts were bigger than hers, and she changed the topic of conversation.
