Say if someone came up to you and asked “If you were a boy/girl what would your name be?” could you answer them without needing think or is that not something most people give a thought to?
I have an agendered one but I’m also legit considering changing it.
Hi. Trans person here.
This is how The Big Questions start. Good luck.
If you’re thinking about what your life would be as the opposite gender, then you’re already thought about gender more than most. Doesn’t necessarily mean you’re any flavor of trans, but generally this isn’t something cis folk think about.
No one can tell you who you are, especially an internet stranger. But if OP or anyone else has an answer to what name you would’ve had as the other sex, than this link is massively helpful in sorting through these thoughts.
Very interesting read even as a cis person. I don’t understand how anyone can read this and then believe any of the propaganda about trans people.
Good luck with your transition!!!
As a cis female I never considered going for a traditionally male name. I do however have a gender neutral name I go by in certain circles. I also used to have a gender neutral account for online gaming.
No.
Can’t say I’ve ever thought about it as a cis male. It’s pretty easy to come up with the best sounding derivative though. If you feel that this may be an important choice for you it may benefit you to explore further and perhaps talk to a therapist who has helped others with dysphoria.
It may also help to add that I’ve gone through phases of not liking my name. It’s not a “normal” name and people very often mishear it as something else. Through this I’ve only ever considered other cis male centric names, also derivatives of my actual name.
I’m not really sure how that works as a trans person lol
My name is not gendered, so I’m good to go.
I’m gonna go with no.
Probably Rachel
I knew the name I would have gotten if had been born a girl for multiple years before I came out as trans and now that is my real name.
So your parents chose your trans name? That’s awesome!
Kind of yeah 😊
but are your parents now transparent?
I feel like “Kolanaki” works both ways. Which is great, because I also go both ways.
No.
Oh.
Ok.
I’d have no idea. Yeah, there’s a feminine name I could extract from my current name, but my first impression is that I wouldn’t want that. I have no idea.
Good luck with your journey!
Nope, I don’t have one.
