[pt] Transname [/pt]

"a transid/transx identity in which one feels like they should have a different name than the one they already have … maybe the person feels like they should have been born with a different name, maybe the person can't change their name at the moment; either way, this person feels like they should have a different name …"

Transnominal or Transnomial: when the gender(s) of one’s name(s) differs from one’s assigned at birth; transcending one’s birth name; identifying as a name different from one’s assigned name; not identifying as your assigned name at birth. Not necessarily experiencing name dysphoria.

I really fecking love arcana for like helping me choose it oof

back when i was still figuring out my gender (lol i make it sound like it wasn’t a few days ago) and thought i was transgender, i would often feel kind of iffy on the name i’d decided on, like it wasn’t real, or it felt like i couldn’t make it my real name. i’m not sure if this goes for other people too, but i just wanted to make one clarification.

whatever name you decide on, is your name. 

no matter how preposterous is sounds, no matter how different it may be from the name your parents gave you at birth, if you like it, and are willing to commit to it, it’s your name. 

i know sometimes it’s hard not to think that maybe you’re just being dramatic, maybe you should choose the name closest to your birth name. (hell, my birth name was a***** and my chosen name is lennon, i have no room to judge) and i know there’s no simple solution to how to resolve this.

but here’s how i get a handle on those thoughts:

think of it like this, if someone were in your situation (and there’s definitely someone in your situation) and they were having the same thoughts and doubts, would you tell them that that’s not their name? would you tell them to stop thinking about it, that they’re being over dramatic?

no, if you’re a decent human being, you wouldn’t. 

so what makes you think it’s okay to do this to yourself?

i know this method doesn’t always work for everybody, and i mean, hell, sometimes it doesn’t work for me, but just trying might help you feel better, or seeing this example might push you to find other methods. 

whatever the case, don’t be afraid to be who you are or who you want to be, and think for yourself. don’t let anybody else decide your future (no matter how cheesy that sounds, your name, sexuality, and gender are more important towards your mental health than you think)

don’t let your birth decide your future (sounds about right)

thanks for taking the time to read this
