    I never said that. You know that your comment is in bad faith. If you don’t tell people your old name then they cannot have any comments about it

      Having a slavery tradition name feels like stolen valor anyway like that wasn’t my story to tell why am I named like it is. I might as well larp as a Palestinian who survived a bombing, for attention. It’s horrible. Yet it’s forced on me.

      The community that is assigned to me is incredibly bigoted. Anti LGBT, antisemitic, Islamophobic, racist, xenophobic, ableist, you name it, it’s turned up to 11 in there.

      On the outside we’re made to look so welcoming to our “brothers and sisters” but in reality it’s a war zone.

      THEY treat cis name changes like it’s worse than genocide, and once again I’ve normalized something no one else experiences. God I wish I was white
