When a stepfather is NOT your biological father and your mother married when you were 5... are you still your given birthname? Or did you all of a sudden become the last name of the feceshead your mother decided to marry? Some Nazis are too thirsty with their denial. My original given birthname did not die, I am still the same person. #adoption #identityfraud #identitytheft #birthname #projectpaperclip #stenekes #birthname #coverup #underthelid #beastsystem

@Rajumisra I'm not sure that I understand your point.

I think that what I'm just trying to say is: I know that a lot of #trans folk have #traumatic responses to the use of their #BirthName.

I hope that my perspective might help someone else who isn't comfortable with the name/sex/gender assigned to them at birth.

Using different words, like #GovernmentName instead of #DeadName , helps me look at it in a different way.

#PersonalOpinion

I ask people to refer to me by a #GenderNeutral nickname, but I'm not bothered (much) when I have to use my #BirthName

I don't love it (yes, it used to bother me), but #ItIsWhatItIs to me now.

I think of it as my #GovernmentName instead of as a #DeadName. Even if I later change it, I feel like it will always be a part of my story. That's important to me too.

And frankly, if I was too lazy to legally change it when I got married then I'm *always* gonna be too lazy to do so.

Also #TodayILearned: there's a reference to the #birthName of one of the lead characters' actor, #MichaelCaine, in the shop sign in the background of one of the songs:

"Micklewhite's", as #Caine's full birth name is Maurice Joseph #Micklewhite Jr.
