Enough talk about trans rights, it's time to talk about trans wrongs /s

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

But first, let's discuss the right and wrong trans wrongs.

The right trans wrongs: coming from a place of deep respect for you as a friend, Mildred is not the right name for you

The wrong trans wrongs: how many American conservatives ready trans individuals

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can we talk about trans lefts instead?

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I personally think we should discuss trans stayeds.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I say this as a trans woman. I will support, defend and love you no matter what sis.

But....

Fucking Mildred!?

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's my great grandma's name. I think it's pretty nice. Lol.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh sure, I bet your Great Grandma is a lovely person and I have nothing against her or her name.

But, it is very much a GREAT GRANDMA sort of name that is super out of date. I would be exactly as critical as a parent naming their child Mildred.

[–] CreativeShotgun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had some friends that saved me from....Edith ugh.

Then i did a juke and went with Eleanore lol

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Haaaa! I actually think Eleanore is a very pretty name, it has an elegant quality to me? Good pick! ♥

[–] Aremel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I gotta agree with the post. Millie would be a cute alternative Mildred. The name reminds me of mildew.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Mildred is iffy but Millie is an adorable name.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you want to get to Millie, start with Camilla. Not fucking Mildred.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Or Amelia, Melissa or simply just Millie, who's gonna stop you?

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I wanna be supportive but, fucking Mildred?

Engaging in sexual intercourse with Mildred is perfectly fine as long as there is mutual consent. However, it is not required. Kind words are usually sufficient.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

In addition, anal intercourse is not appreciated by everyone.

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

However, it is not required

The sex, not the consent, I hope.

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You hope correctly.

[–] Marleyinoc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe it's the meaning. Just looked it up: Mildred means "gentle strength." I'm warming up to it.

[–] vonxylofon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Damn right. If I transitioned, I wouldn't take a lame name like Mildred. I'd go for something cool like Radicalorange or Forcefulblue.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You don't have to transition for that, most adults can get their name changed whenever they like.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not Periwinkle or Orangered?

[–] vonxylofon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well, because we're doing modifier + colour here. Mild + red?

[–] pastabatman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

When I was in school the kids with the weird names were either picked on or they were super cool and popular. Their parents had no idea which one they were going to be when they chose the name.

Your friend has the benefit of knowing who she is already. If she knows she's going rock it, then go Mildred.

[–] Voran@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I like Mildred. Such a shame that names go 'out of date'.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are geriatric names coming back? Are we going to have a generation of Gladyses and Eustices?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Eustices

That's it, I'm gettin me mallet!

Is this the Mildred in question?

[–] beneeney@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] f4hy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I 100% support people to transition. I don't think people should get to pick their own names without any veto.

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What if they changed their name to Adolf Hitler?

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Only if they were hot. At least a nein.
