I'm not going to give you a Georgian name unless you're Georgian or a close friend who knows what's happening in Georgia right now and how our ethnic names are treated. our ethnic names are not your aesthetic, and if you're white/European, respectfully, I don't want you to use a Georgian name. you have your ethnic names, tons of them actually, including pagan and non pagan ones. choose your name from them. I don't think Europeans understand that their names are desired in many cultures where native names are being replaced with European ones. I can't give you a name knowing how much hated and mocked our ethnic names are just cuz they're not European and they sound "weird, old fashioned and they're impossible to pronounce." you can't even treat name "Nazi" with respect and you have to make nasty jokes about it. I'm not giving you a Georgian name. you won't look "exotic" with a Georgian name. choose a name from your culture. some things shouldn't and cannot be shared.

it makes me mad how my region's ethnic houses are being destroyed and people are replacing them with "modern" European houses because our houses "ugly, old, primitive, undeveloped." they said that our traditional Oda houses are hard to take care of which is horrible because European houses aren't suitable for our climate. it's over 70% humidity here and 20-35 Celsius range in Summer (which can be unbearable if you live in unsuitable house types cuz high humidity makes it hard to breathe). and they have the audacity to say that Europe is not destroying our culture when this is happening solely because people want to be European and they want to appear "developed" ("developed" = European btw). I had to beg to my dad and relatives to keep our traditional house without any changes. next time I'll be seeing our houses in museums because my people truly love replacing their culture with European styled things, and we're nothing other than exotic uncivilized people whose culture belongs in museums. European = good and developed, ethnic = bad and undeveloped... "those silly colonizer white Caucasians from mountains of Caucasus" are losing their identity and culture because of Europeans (white Russians are included in Europe).

(I haven't transitioned btw. I naturally look feminine and I'm intersex)

and what do they mean that Bulgarians are asian. it's been disproven and debunked lol. honestly I've seen Turkish people say many things, most of them aren't even true. Turkish people themselves are very diverse. there are European ones, there are Caucasian ones, Anatolian ones and mixed ones
