What's the big deal with a tgirl's boy name?

[slinky]

you my deear, need to relax with the generalizations. This post was one after another after another. Im not sure what girls YOU are used to dealing with, but i think u need to change your circle of tranny friends if that is in fact the case. Otherwise u have been reading wayyy too many stories.

I think the reason we have a problem with this is....because you askin what my boy name was...makes me think that you belive who i am now is a fake or charecter. Also feel if you knew it would be something to throw in my face....like you would try to put me in my place by sayin "who you think you are....i know yer REAL name is blah blah blah.

I've asked girls, that I've become friends with, their birth names.

Never a problem.

When somebody asks us our "real" name, is basically a way to delegitimatize our personalities, label us in their minds and disregard our transgender situation (which is that WE WERE BORN WOMEN with body and social challenges).

Contrary to what they would say (you know, the "sure, I respect you"), the intriguing questions come from their deep and subconscious believes that we are not the women we portray to be, that we are not "real", and that all this time it has been a dude orchestrating our transformation behind scenes.

So No, I will not tell anyone. How on earth will I set myself up for failure? Being accepted as a woman cost me everything. Should now step backwards for the sake of a relationship? Trust me, I have seen it. As soon as the name is out... EVERYTHING changes. Mistakes in pronouns, double name, blah blah blah...

Your suggesting some sinister motive, and that's just not true.

If I've just met you, I wouldn't ask you what your birth name was, cause maybe it would just be a "hook up" date and that's that. But if we were to continue seeing each other, at some point, I'm gonna ask. If you're saying that your past boyfriends use it against you, I would say you didn't have much of a boyfriend to begin with.
