How did you choose your new name?

Lush! That's a great name.

 

My name was given me by a dominatrix after I enquired about training with her and it was revealed I had no female name yet. I did have a name years ago when I used to go clubbing en femme: Billie. That name was given me by someone I met at the club, but it didn't feel right this time around. I find, like nicknames, the ones that stick best are usually given by someone else. Ever tried to give yourself a nickname? It takes some doing.

Oh btw Luscious, I think I saw you mentioned bald orcs in another thread? I love the bald look. Gutsy and striking.

Yes, I have club name, too. It’s Eri, written 恵理 in Japanese , but I haven’t been out for over a year because of COVID-19. Now I’m debating whether to keep using that name, too, after I legally change my name to Kasumi. Anyone else using two names?

Two names??? I struggle with one!  Just been finishing off paperwork and realised I've signed about 25 pages with my old name D'oh!   Went to my bank yesterday and changed the name on my bank account. Really looking forward to a card in my new name. I will get this lol

 

My wife says she has more than one name for me though and none of them are pleasant!  Must be love xx

I have chosen Audra Rebel as my given and middle name. Well, Audra I initially was thinking for a daughter at some point and I don't know any Audras (the name my mom gave me it a common male name in the 80's and she named me that because she did not know any Jasons, and I just noticed a pattern). I remember seeing a model named Audra at some point and thought it sounds good. Rebel after Rebel Wilson and also I am kind of rebelling against my gender by birth. I told my sister the name I had picked out, she said it sounds like a Hollywood stage name. I had thought about various names from relatives, names of girls that I went to school with and liked the sound of, but I decided on to pick something that would be mine and not from people I had some kind of direct contact with.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.

      Technically, it's before noon ;)   Uneventful day so far. I have my personal devices limited to 15 mins of screen time a day because I had a C lol, only problem really is the fact I do a lot of my social interaction online because most of my friends are in another state... been a little lonely, I guess? Plus I do a lot of reading and such online, and use my phone for references to draw, so there's a lot I don't have access to. So, just an annoyance now.   Anyways, fixed the C, hopefully I'll have normal things again soon ^-^   My mom's been having me take this herb pill in the mornings that is supposed to help with anxiety/ADHD-type symptoms, but I still have been having about the same amount of trouble focusing and sensory issues, so I guess it's not working haha

      That's awesome!

      Claire shares the same first letter as my male name.  I tend to prefer shorter names to long ones, and this one seemed feminine to me without going overboard. I was inspired by Claire Danes, Claire Underwood, and Claire Dunphy (upon whom I always had an enormous crush ).  Plus, it just felt right. I don't know if Claire will be my final legal name, but it's stuck longer than the others I've tried on.

      I always loved Ashley. I named my 2006 Roush Mustang that too. I also had a crush to Ashley Force who races in NHRA.

      I'm the same (estradiol, no blockers) and for me, after 4 years, T levels naturally *decreased*. I'm at E&T levels of a postmenopausal woman.   Astrid

      Revealed: the super-rich fascist Maga lobbying group who is brain-washing the far-right policies of Trump and other Republicans.   Documents show the Conservative Partnership Institute is pushing its far-right agenda at events involving GOP members. A powerful, right-wing lobbying group is promoting a hard-right policy agenda and cementing ties between the Republican party and the far right at at least 21 events involving senators, members of Congress, and both junior and senior political aides. The documents offer previously unreported details of Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI). In 2021, the former congressman and Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows joined CPI. Both Meadows and Mitchell were at the center of Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Meadows was indicted in Georgia in August.    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/23/conservative-partnership-institute-republican-laws

      RFK Jr. Also Says A Live Tapeworm has eaten part of his brain. THAT I certainly believe. Nothing else.
    • EasyE
      As a side question, when you start E (I'm only doing E. no blockers), does T fight back? (Insert "Empire Strikes Back" theme music here, lol)   For awhile, things downstairs seemed very subdued. This week, not so much. Kind of like back to pre-E days. Just curious.   Did labs yesterday so that should tell me something when I get results...

      The language says a lot.   " labeling them as "castration drugs." He also referred to sex-change procedures as"surgical mutilation'"
