So, it's really common in media with trans characters, including fanfic where they make a character trans that isn't (officially) in canon, to have the character use a gender swapped version of their old name. Alexander becomes Alexa, Stephanie becomes Stephan, William becomes Wilhemina, Francine becomes Frank, etc, etc, et al, adnausium. However, most of the trans people I know both IRL and online don't do that. I certainly didn't. So, I'm curious, if you're trans (including NB, gender fluid, or anything else where your day to day gender presentation IS NOT the same as you AGAB) DID you Choose, Try, or at least Consider using a version of your old name for your new name? Please reblog to spread this, it would help get informative results. Thank you!

In German, when someone is being shot, you have to specify whether they were merely wounded ("angeschossen") or shot to death ("erschossen").

i cannot stop thinking about this. oh my god. imagine going into a bar and someone you know for a fact youve never met approaches you and says “go ahead and take one, mitch.” im cracking the fuck up. he looked like he thought this was the fucking truman show

And it’s just like. People need food right now you know.

Yeah, UBI is better than the quinoa chips. Sure. But right now the quinoa chips are stopping people from going hungry and if all we can do is get the food bank quinoa chips to more people, then I say so be it. That’s something. I’ll almost always take baby steps over nothing.
