Oh my God! I’ve done this before!! I’m not trans but people often ask me if I am because I have “masculine features specifically in my face and arms “so I will tell people that my name is Alex, Ally, Austin.etc.
I should do that lol. Im also not Trans, but certain hairstyles make me look more like a little boy, so ppl can't tell sometimes. If they ask, maybe I'll tell them my name is Darius or smth lol 😅
I don't think that's justified unless those people have bad intentions asking if you're trans. Asking a trans person's deadname is automatically invasive so that's different in my eyes
My transmasc friend just says “no, im transitioning to a woman, my birth name is [chosen name]” every time he meets a transphobe. It’s hilarious how he can trick people
I remember when a transphobe was arguing with me, and at the time I went by “Taylor” (transfem), and despite the fact that my deadname was easily findable in tweets that were only a few months old he proceeded to call me “Tyler” (not my deadname) and convinced himself I was lying and it was my deadname. Still one of the funniest experiences I’ve had on Twitter
I use my middle name, so in a roundabout way I relate. When “preferred name” started showing up on forms, I loved it. Being a self-centered human, it was only slightly later I connected it with trans inclusiveness.
I will never understand why people deadname... I've seen cis people insist upon being called by a nickname, a surname, even a username and have no problem whatsoever. But for some reason the same respect can never be given to trans folks? Just why??? Why the hell people can't just respect each other equally?!
People who fall into that trap just show off how much of a terrible person they are! It’s not a win for them, but it’s a win for you! Weeding out the red flags
Before transitioning, I actually used to put Lisa on my fast food orders sometimes because my real dead name was much harder to pronounce. I've found "none of your goddamn business" to be an effective dead name as well.
If you told me that, I'd be so mad you changed your name when it was frickin STORMAGEDDON. Imagine your teacher taking role like "Alice, here. Patricia, here. Stormageddon... where's Stormageddon?
I use a shorter version of my legal name. Any time people know my “real name” they start calling me that, even if I’ve made it clear that I don’t prefer it and dislike being called that. It has happened so many times. When people ask me if my name is short for something, I lie and say some wildly obscure or obsolete name. Sometimes I push it further and talk about how the name has been in my family for generations
What I love is when you don’t say anywhere what your deadname is, but idiots still try to guess. I’ve gotten ALAN. THEY COULD NOT HAVE MADE A WORSE GUESS.
That's smart especially if you tell a friend a fake Dead name then they tell someone who tries to use it against you but you know who told them does that make sense 😂
Ooo, yeah! This is smart, especially if you tell a different one to each friend, but tell them not to tell anyone else, it will probably get back to you if they do.
That’s the best part of being non binary for me, my chosen name is both a male and female name, so if anyone wants to know my deadname I can just say my chosen name. It’s genius, cause now they won’t deadname me since they don’t think it possible!
i'm gonna start giving them the most out of pocket names "what was your deadname?" "antelope" "....no it wasn't" *hands them fake birth certificate* "yes it is susan, yes it is"
Lol im genderfluid and around a week ago at sleepaway camp a kid on the other side of the camp yelled to me, “hey! Are you a boy?” And at the time, I was feeling like a boy, but my parents were there, and they don’t know I’m gender-fluid so I had to lie and say I was a girl, but it felt so satisfying to have someone not know my actual gender.
This is why, as a trans guy, I am very glad that my mother gave me a unisex name that I like. Though I think it would still be quite funny for me to lie and say a different name anyway.
As a person on the spectrum. I honestly really prefer not knowing. Just cuz my brain probably won't forget it and that feels disrespectful. Like bruh they call em dead names for a reason.
i just lie about my name in general. there are probably a dozen people out there who know me as holden caulfield because “my parents were fans of the book”
Before I even knew that I was trans, I would do a form of this. Almost every time I met someone new they would ask me what my name was and I would tell them to choose one for me. This ended up with me having so many names that I would just respond to every time someone would say something that could be a name lol. (Two of that names that I remeber are Chrysanthemum and Jim)
when people ask me what my deadname is, i reply “why do you wanna know?” and usually they say they’re just curious, but i tell them that they don’t need to know because they don’t need to call me by any other name than the name i have chosen for myself and the only reason someone would want to know my deadname is to use it against me
I’m non binary, people sometimes ask my birth name (not knowing that I didn’t change my name) and I always say something funny, like if i wanna go masc ‘Waldorph Bartholomew Binlkton’ or if I wanna go fem ‘Cornelia Cassandra Cadence’
A couple years ago me and my friend decided to replace my deadname with Stephanie so we could talk about it without people actually knowing it and people genuinely believed it 😭
GUYS I KNOW THE TRUTH HIS BIRTH IS KAREN AND THE REASON HE ISN'T TELLING US IS BECAUSE HE HAS A KAREN COSTUME THAT HE WEARS OUT AND HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE KNOWING THAT IT WAS HIM.
you should see if you can get through all the Mambo no. 5 names without anyone noticing (i hope no one else made this joke bc the other comments aren't showing lol)
I'm not fully out as trans, but it sure didn't help when a friend of mine leaked my dead name. The message has since been deleted, but I still have so much anxiety over who may have possibly seen it.
Im really sry that happened but ur trans 4 u and dont ever 4get that, the world will take time to understand us but that doesmt mean we have to hide in a bunker and wait 4 the nuclear fallout to pass, we can life our lives without fear, cause theres always someone whos here and queer! (Not saying u have to come out but u shouldnt have to life in fear )
I so wanna use this in the future!! But I'm still trying to figure out what my name will be😭 I'm trans ftm, and I'm super uncomfortable with my birth name, but I can't find any names that do suit me. Struggles💀
Try looking up different unique boy names that matches your favorite color, favorite meaning, or favorite character that you like. Like me for example, I ended up choosing the boy name Midoriya because it sounded cool (yes I know the name is from an anime. Lmao!) but it also just so happened to mean "green valley" which matches my hair color and the name is extremely unique! I'm a genderfluid trans ftm and had the same struggle as you a few months ago. Lol! I hope this helps. 😁🏳️⚧️
Can't wait to use this loll I recently changed my name to Cody, and my old name was mispronounced ALL THE TIME So when the teachers at school ask for my "real name" that's in the school, I can just mispronounce it.😂
Ive had Amelia, Delilah, Marjorie, Jessica, Carol, Madison, Cecilia, Maria, Andrea, and Phyllis . None of those are my name, two of them are my middle name though🤪🤪🤪🤪
I told some boys who are transphobic that i was born a boy and my deadname was Kade, I actually lied. So now they call me Kade to get in my head when it doesn’t bother me, the call me he/him, makes me feel stronger 💪
