There are plenty of great fictional characters to choose from that don't sound absurd in reality. Obviously Galadriel would be a weird choice, but something like Luna (Harry Potter), Lucy (Hunger Games universe), Rose (Doctor Who), or even Rey (Star Wars) are all "normal," and easy to spell. I guess it is a combination of whatever makes you happy and however you want to live your life during/after transition. I know trans folks who wear that on their sleeve, and ones who get to a point of passing and never wanted to talk about it again...and everything in-between. Whatever you pick I hope you love it and feel the most you.❤

[@ElizabethREZ]

@@TheRPGNerd I’ve known a lot of people who pick names that they change regularly because they find something cooler, but they’re clearly self chosen names, which is why I think people don’t respect it as much. It has to be inconspicuous so no one would ever know. On that note, a Simon and a Kayden I know, I didn’t know they were trans for the longest time, and their name choice really helped. Now… Ivy, Sky, Orion, Jinx… really? Just really? They all got dead named frequently, even Max alone, no one names their kid that anymore, and it again, sounds too much like a feminine care product. Someone gave themself a name that was almost identical to their birth name and told no one, so they were also getting frequently dead named because everyone thought their name was still the same. It’s a tricky thing, I’m very supportive of people transitioning, but very critical of name choices because a lot of times it’s like… really? Come on…

I'm really wanting to get a binder but i don't want my parents to know- (For context: they are great parents and they won't mind if I'm trans, they just want me to keep away from doing life changing [possibly threatening] things to my body.) It's just uncomfortable for me because I've been a female for my whole life and plus I'm still confused about everything.

"What if people transition and then regret it?" You support them and listen to them instead of pushing them away. People with regrets transitioning are actively silenced and left without support because they "make trans people look bad". I watched a document about this exact topic and even some staff of our advocacy group for *human rights*, that's been running for near 50 years, just brushed it off by blaming the detransitioning person and assuming aggression from their part, despite there was no proof of such thing as they were *asking for help*. It makes me unreasonably angry, they've actively pushed LGBTQ+ rights, but the instant someone steps out of that mold they can be thrown in the wind.

​@@aqua1675yess chest measurements are necessary for getting a binder. I think a few websites online will give you a chart and explain which measurements to take and how, and then with the chart you can figure out what size your measurements correspond to. Typically, the "proper" size for you will be quite tight but you get used to it. Although honestly, I accidentally got one a size too big, then got the proper size and used that for while, but then I got less obsessed with having the flatest chest possible because people really don't notice unless they're transphobic lol so now I just where the larger one unless really need a flat chest for certain shirts
