Your Name-What Do You Care To Be Called?

I'm fine with almost anything, as long as it isn't a male name. I think the main ones I am most often referred to is Janessa, Jan, and my nickname - almost no-one even knows my male name. <3

While I enjoy the sound of Virginia and those who know me IRL call me that, I am cool with Gin. Funny thing. My long time friend and best man in all things has always used a shorted version of my birth name even though I prefer the longer and it is phonetically similar to Gin. He asked me what to call me now and, to make it easy for him, I said Gin will do nicely. The wife calls me Ginny from time to time as a tease, but I love Harry Potter, so I guess I'm okay with that, too. Just don't call me to collect a debt, because I'm plumb broke :D

'Shane' sounds almost like 'Shame'. I do not know if that is such a good thing...

But Shane's a nice name..

I like Sean too, possibly better now, but it reminds me of the hip-hop kid.

Hmmm, I see your point.

Then again, perhaps it just is not my place to, ehm, analyze, people's names...

And no, I'm not really fond of that Sean, too. I hate hip-hop...

I realize it may sound a bit formal or even pretentious but I prefer Miss Ricka.

It's actually a Southern thing. My mother is Southern and I very much identify

with the Southern women in my family. Ricka derives from Richard and I was

originally named that after my father.

I actually like that too. My screen name, when simply Shilo is not available, is always Miss Shilo.

The real life name I would like to be called, whenever it becomes a possibility, is Diana. It's sorta similar to my given name, so it won't be that hard for people to get used to, plus there are a few references that I sorta relate to, like the Roman Goddess, and though I'm slightly embarrassed to admit it, the one female incarnation of Garfield the cat in his 9 Lives cartoon special. A bit of nostalgia with an obvious connection for trans people, plus I'm a die hard cat person (you should see the tattoo I'm getting! I can't post the picture but it's going to be Bastet, the egyptian cat goddess running up my side from my waist to chest level, with the wing spreading over my back up to my shoulder. It's breathtaking. If you wanna see it and you're over 18, let me know and I'll pass you a link)

My ex started calling me P for Paula and lots of other people heard it and started calling me P too.

I prefer Jace. It sounds a bit like my birth name so it was easier for me to choose, so the people I know before I transition won't have an excuse to forget it. I don't really mind what anyone calls me though, just as long as it's not something derogatory. Or my birth name. I can't forgive that. :P

I don't care what ya call me just don't call me late for dinner! (Oh, I -had- to.)

Ever since I was little, I've just never been keen on my given name and have had various other names over the years. I'm not sure if I've settled on my new name just yet but I suppose I'm in a state of trying one on. But the one name that bugs the butt filling out of me is being addressed by the given name. Its not a horrific name, but it is most certainly female, without any way to make it less so. (And it seems my mother only ever called me by name whenever something was wrong so it rubs me wrong in all manner of ways.)

Most just call me dumb S. Normally I find it endearing I kept the J in my first name for initialing as I always have. Jenn is easy to remember as well. I'm sure Ill be keeping,it's definitely grown on me as other things do. Jennifer Normal

Guest Jennifer RachaelAnn

Jennifer being my first name, any variant of that is ok. Jen, Jenni, Jennifer, etc.

RachaelAnn is one name. My middle name. Rachael is fine, but not Ann.

So there's my feelings on my name.

Dee (for D)....Jay (for J)

Dee Jay (Donna Jean)

Nothing like writing out an abbreviation to a name. :lol:

Personally I don't care what I'm called as long as there is respect and caring behind it. ;)

Ohh yea, don't call me "Late for dinner", I hate that. :lol:

      Have you ever been faced with homelessness? How did you overcome it if you have?   I know a trans who graduated, parents kicked her out and she is in need. Any suggestions?

      The numbers were not impressive really considering the magnitude of our largest counties.  The article does not say how many signatures were collected in the right areas or if the signatures were verified by the county ROV's.  The story is meant to be impressive and may sound that way to people in less populated political areas, but I am glad to say it turned out pretty weak.

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/proposal-limit-transgender-youth-rights-224408735.html     Not too surprising in California, but scary that it still got 400,000 signatures.  Well, there are a lot of right leaning counties, for sure.   Carolyn Marie

      Hi @Arushi, welcome to TransPulse and thanks for sharing. Your story sounds familiar to me in some ways: I used to go out dressed femme exclusively at night and received a lot of attention from guys. Back then I had no interest in them, mainly since their attention so often resembled sexual harassment. But that was 12 years ago and a lot has changed. Now I am exclusively into guys, and proudly trans.    You ask are you wrong to crossdress; I would say absolutely not. It sounds as if this urge comes from a place deep within you, and I doubt you could suppress it for long if you tried. You also describe no harms that have resulted from your crossdressing. But maybe the real question is how do you feel about it? Leaving aside the societal stigma that can surround crossdressing, do you feel there is anything wrong with your behaviour? And lastly, does your wife know? If not, then that may be a problem. But if so, then imo the problem is in not being open with your wife, not in crossdressing. Crossdressing is a morally neutral act.

      I am opening up for the first time to someone other than myself. A bit about me; I am an Asian Indian male, 45 , married and dad, working professional from Portland. I have very mixed body features. I don’t have much hair on me and I wax so have a smooth body all over, light wheatish skin color, nicely done eyebrows and definitely size B manboobs, 6’2” tall and slightly curvy body, so I look like a tall woman when I am all dressed up. Growing Up; At a very young age , I got very intrigued with Wigs and Bra’s. I used to try on Bra’s starting age 14 and stuffed them up with socks. I used to roam wearing panties , and gown , usually taken off my dryers from my neighbors laundry. I remember this one weekend , I was all by myself and tried makeup for the first time and did my best , let’s just say it wasn’t bad for my first time. That was my best weekend being in woman clothing’s all day long around the house.  As I moved out of the house for college , I started freely and frequently cross dress, I bought my own silicone breasts , bra’s , panties  and dresses. I used to go to thrift stores and Ross, pick up the best in the lot, 44DD size and go into changing room and try them on with my Silicone boobs. I used to look for slightly worn panties , to make me feel I have been wearing them for ages. I got some cheap makeup, eyeliner, lipstick, foundation and the whole Shabang and 4-5 beautiful wigs. I had a closet full of items . Every Sunday, I would spend 3 hours dressing up , and sneaking out in public in my best woman attire, I used to get compliments all the time, many guys even approached me , I was flattered but never felt aroused for guys. Only when woman would stare , I would get a bulge .  Today: I still have a collection of cross dressing items and really good stuff from Sephora. I still cross dress and roam around in the streets of SF during my work travels (when I am off work) , you may run into me on one of my work trips. My wife and kids go on trips to visit my in laws for a month in summer, that’s when I am always dressed like a woman all around, with nail polish done too. I so feel in my element dressed as a woman. Sexual preference: I am into Woman, dominating woman that would control me, dress me up and take me on a girls night out. Make out with me in ladies room . Am I wrong in doing so? Should suppress my desires to cross dress?

      Yesterday I appeared on Brisbane community radio station 4ZZZ discussing the Cass Review, the recent NHS-sponsored review of gender-affirming care for kids in the UK. This is a seismic event for trans kids and their families worldwide, or as I said yesterday, “a world-class piece of anti-trans propaganda”. I have researched this solidly for the past month and will have waaaay more to say on the topic, but for now I hope you’ll listen to this quick overview. The episode is available to stream as a podcast via Spotify and Apple Podcasts.   Trigger warnings: transphobic healthcare, sexualisation of children (touched on briefly, but it is upsetting).   My heart goes out to trans kids and their families in the UK and anywhere else these policies are being enacted.   https://open.spotify.com/episode/3LAHs3VZB8zuGWGt41rzaL?si=BRUHUvz3QmWr5cyCEYyB0Q&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A3Jay63nMJ67bBMI9M59tKe

      No, though I am generally happy with my life. Transitioning later in life has left me in a position where I don't pass, and it sometimes confuses people, which makes me sad. I am able to live quite normally due to a supportive community, but I neither chose nor wanted to be trans, so I do hold a level of conflict with it. Early in my transition, my psychologist told me I needed to come to terms with my new role (but she had no advice how to do this) or I wouldn't find peace, and I doubt I ever will. I have learned to live with this, and I am trying to make the most of my time, but true peace and happiness has eluded me.   Hugs,   Allie
