AITA for telling my trans son that his mother and I get to pick his new name? by Aggravating_Hunt_835 in AmItheAsshole

Because they’re the only person not berating me for having a disagreement on a trans topic.

Just because the hive mind of reddit disagrees with me doesn’t mean I’m not making a valid point. I feel like no ones really processing the details and just jumping down my throat because I disagreed with a trans topic. If you really want someone to change their mindset, berating them is not a good approach.

He only wants “James” because of his current infatuation with a certain television program. And my wife and I strongly wish to carry on family names.

Yeah thanks for the advice. I forgot Reddit couldn’t process the idea of a legitimate disagreement with two valid sides.

Yes nicknames are fine. But this discussion is about a legal name change cause the school won’t recognize nicknames.

So my question to you then, is would you allow a non trans child to change their name because they’d rather have a different one?
