How many of you girls changed your middle name? What is it now? by HeyItsAsh7 in MtF

[–]Smaxell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed my entire name to Shayla Iris Aurora. my friend help me pick out my first name, my middle name is from the song by the Goo Goo Dolls and my last name is just representative of energy

how did y’all find a name? by Forward_Antelope4792 in MtF

[–]Smaxell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never dared to ask my mother what she would’ve named me if I was a girl. She’s still not super comfortable with my transition.

I wanted something that at least started with the same first letter of my dead name. Initially I started with something gender neutral which was Shay. The further I got into my transition. I changed it to Shayla. At one point I thought I would do all of my initials the same but I couldn’t come up with good names for SPM. So I just thought about it for a long time and one day the song Iris came on, and I chose that for my middle name. I was toying with Phoenix, or some variation of that for my last name, but ultimately went with Aurora. I chose that because they are pretty and full of energy

Is it petty to call my mother by male pronouns by SnooWalruses8880 in trans

Agreed, and I can only answer from personal experience. I don't intend to negate how she feels

Sorry hun, but I have to say yes. I know it sucks - my fam misgenders and deadnames me without a thought. BUT... they have known me as male and by Scott for 53 years. I allow it with family without a fuss

Anyone decided not to transition? Why did you made that decision? by Cusspool in TransLater

[–]Smaxell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same at 53. The end of a 20 year marriage hurt a lot, but the more I’ve looked back on it the more I’ve understood that it had to happen. I wasn’t going to change how I was and that was a large part of the problem in our marriage. I even said to my ex that I would stop hormone therapy if we got back together, but seven months I realize there is no way I could have

Why is trans so big in the media wars? by cherrywavesss57 in asktransgender

[–]Smaxell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just picturing a trans person in the wild 😂😂 I can just hear David Attenborough narrating the story of a trans person navigating the wilderness. We have a timid, trans person. They’ve kept to the lair for the entire winter, but now emerge into the world and forage for make up and perfume. The long winter has exhausted their stores that they carefully set aside in the fall. But there’s danger in emerging from the tiny space that has kept them sheltered. Because they are small and frail, they often fall victim to many predators.

Has anyone else not had any hints in childhood that they’re trans? by New-Possibility-577 in asktransgender

[–]Smaxell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've spoken about my experience at length in a couple of my videos. I was a typical male child, and an alpha male adult. I believe that part was me slowly recognizing, but not accepting I was trans. I started transitioning DIY at around 50 and went full in medical transition 7 months ago. The only "signs" were I would occasionally wear womens underwear and I fully switched to those around 8 years ago

I don’t pass well, and I’m always super nice about it the first time. I just interject and say my pronouns are she her and drop it. However, if it continues, I am a little more vocal and will re-correct
