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 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:

      While I'm sure the "Founders" had the 30 years war, etc. on their minds, they didn't write the constitution as considering only Christian sects. The early colonists (I used the word) did mostly come from areas of "christian culture" but it's hard to reconcile some of their actions with what Christ himself taught.   Christians have a right to their beliefs, but there are a lot of American citizens that do not consider themselves "christian."  I have seen writings where the US was specifically said not to be a "Christian Nation". "The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli that sought to secure America from attacks by the so-called Barbary pirates who were Muslim made a point to say that the United States "is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.""    It shouldn't be difficult to understand why the "Christian Nationalist" movement makes some of us uncomfortable.

      just found a cute pair of denim shorts with flowers embroidered in two places on the front ... daring myself to wear them around family today ... the flowers match the deep rose of the t-shirt I just bought...

      Not to justify it, but this is what happens when folks rely on accepting money from the government.  It just isn't secure!  When the times change and different winds blow, you find yourself coming up short on funds.  Don't trust the feds, don't trust the state.    I don't believe in separation of church and state.  I believe the USA is a Christian nation, but that Congress doesn't make an establishment of which kind of church that refers to.  Reading the writings left by the Founders (who were mostly Christian or Deist), I think it is pretty clear that they wanted to avoid the bloody Protestant vs. Catholic conflicts that had been going on in Europe for the previous 250 years.    I think one huge problem is that we've had a separation of culture and state already.  There's been an abandonment of traditional American culture, or at least a significant change in it.  People often act servile, not independent.  People seek government help rather than taking care of themselves and those around them.  Its like everybody is waiting for an answer, like baby birds in the nest chirping to have something delivered to them from up above.    To me, the federal government has two purposes - to keep foreign forces and influence out of our territory, and to tax foreign trade to protect domestic economy.  They've pretty much failed at both. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Actually, yes!  Its how I met my two trans friends.  My husband helped to arrange jobs and housing for both of them.  And in the process, they also fell in love, and so far their relationship is going well.  I'm glad to have been part of helping out.

      I am not sure what "it" you are asking about.  The surgery, or the increased urgency of peeing?   I haven't felt any increased urgency.  I can hold it for as long as I used to, I think.  One thing that is different is that, once I start, it is almost impossible to stop the flow.  My pelvic floor physio said I had really good control of my pelvic floor muscles, but it didn't help with that.   My goal for surgery was just to have a female body.  I think I was foreseeing the persecution that is rising now.  Part of my reasoning, though I didn't plan it out clearly in those terms, was that I would be able to pass a strip-search gender check.  I was thinking more about passing in locker rooms, but passing in police lineups may be more necessary if certain political elements get their way.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Wow.  That's crazy that somebody just comes onto your private place and starts demanding stuff.  You're absolutely right to press charges.  It seems like there's very little respect for private property these days. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Actually, my husband has two different job titles at his company.  He's transportation manager, and also one of the project managers.  Its funny because he's got an office in the main building, and a smaller one in the transportation building, and he's rarely in either one.  He's got three site foremen who report to him, and also the shop supervisor and drivers' supervisor.  So he usually spends his days at installation sites, meeting clients, or handling all the paperwork that keeps the transportation side of the business compliant with FMCSA rules.    But he's definitely a truck driver by personality, and he taught me how to drive and helped me get my CDL.  Kind of a backup option for a job if I ever needed one.  I think this week is going to be one of those "all hands on deck" kind of occasions, so we'll probably take a load or two.  I'm looking forward to it.  Its really funny when I'm driving and we get into a truck stop.  I get out of the cab, and I get a lot of stares because of my size and looking like I'm a teenager.  And we get more stares when we share a shower.

      Yep, this thing is a red flag that people should be super aware of on this site.  I've been working from home exclusively for 12 years.  I'm a house cat like that, so this isn't much of a deterrent for me.  I've been venturing out into the women's restrooms a little bit lately, but as is typical of people like me, I'm just in there to do my business and get out.  I avoid that as much as I can and use those single bathrooms whenever I can.  I went over a year without going to a public restroom.  I just don't go out much.   I haven't stood to pee in 7 years now.  The idea of surgery is very, very scary for me (I wrote a book about it).  I'm likely going to do it though.  I would like some evidence from other transwomen of what it is really like.  I'm not one to take plane flights, but taking a flight for that is well justified.  Before my testosterone was blocked, there was a much larger sexual side to M->F transition.  Now sexuality plays a back seat to the idea of wanting to pee like a woman.  It's always been in my mind, but the desire for that has grown.   Respectfully, Lydia_R

      I've gotten to the point lately where I'm thinking of the extension of the separation of church and state to separation of culture and state.  Government's purpose to ensure a construct of civility.  Food, clothing, shelter and justice for the individual.  That includes the roads as far as they pertain to the distribution of food, clothing and shelter.  And "ensure" is different than "provide".   I think that there is no way to truly express yourself or have a good foundation without having a personal culture.  I like telling stories and teaching lessons through my culture, but I always hope that people don't think I'm promoting my culture beyond it just being visible as an option.
