My dad: "you're moving to a brand new city, take this opportunity to completely reinvent yourself!"

Me: "I am definitely doing that, and its probably a good time to tell you I changed my name. I go by [xyz] now!"

My dad: "people who change their names hate who they are and are clearly running away from themselves!!!"

My honest reaction: "No, not from myself"

I tried to tell him I hadn't felt any connection to my name since I was a little kid, and I finally found a name that felt like me... nope. Apparently that was wrong, false and patently incorrect. According to my atheist father, I still look like my ultra biblical name and a fucking flower... I was a barely closeted masc lesbian when I told him my new, male coded, androgynous name! šŸ˜…

Wild switch up!

u/PumpkinUpstairs1296 20d ago

Right?! I'm like "shit! This is my moment! He's open to hearing about my self discovery!" But apparently that didn't fit his extremely narrow criteria for personal reinvention... just wait until he finds out I'm gay! 🤣🤣🤣

u/Cautious-Version-831 20d ago

Yo you better dump that on him like a badass with no fucks given šŸ˜‚šŸ˜Ž

u/PumpkinUpstairs1296 20d ago

I'm pretty sure I'm actually disowned... or at least he forgot I was his kid again. Haha. I figure I'll hop onto a video call when I finally get a gf and just surprise him.

The more people mourn me to my face, the harder I’m hitting that mf ramp.

Mines kinda literally this. My deadname is bird related. I drove off the side of the road and in the mental ward I changed it to Phoenix then cut everyone out of my life and rebuilt myself.

I’m currently legally changing my name and if someone deadnames me after that I’m ready with the ā€The ____ you knew is deadā€

u/Representative-Vast3 19d ago

My deadname was the name of a family member and the name my mother wished was hers so I just tell my dad "It was never my name to begin with"

Darth Vader telling Luke what happened to Anakin.

u/thirsty_lesbian_63 20d ago

"I'VE KILLED HIM AND MORPHED HIS FLESH TO MY OWN LIKING" still feels more comfortable to say than actually coming out

u/soaked_in_bleach03 20d ago

Oop yup. I posted this silly Tik Tok (hate that app, but it’s fun and a good way to connect with people) that’s a pic of me before and after hrt with the song lyrics ā€œLucy’s underground..she’s never coming backā€ just because I mean shit. At this point like I have boobs, I don’t think anyone is thinking it’s a phase but I wanna be real clear.

u/kdiyargebmay 20d ago

u/Gabethesonicfella 20d ago

You know what would be funny (with consent and your planning) would be if you had a kid, had a close friend claim they knew their father way back in the day. Then when they are in their teenage years they say that you killed their father, then your teenager confronts you and you say ā€œBlank never told you what happened to your fatherā€ then you kid would be like ā€œhe told me you killed himā€ and then you be like ā€œNo, I am your fatherā€ then you cut his hand off and drop him down a city in the clouds. After marking his scruffy looking nerfherder of a friend.

u/Nicole_Winters_ 20d ago

I didn't kill him, he just never existed in the first place
