'Damn, when we were called TransFlower we had all these transsexuals taking pictures of our van and giggling. Then we changed it to FlorTrans and the same thing happened! We need a new name where this problem won't recur, like... i dunno, maybe...'

haha yeah German kind of wrecks this pun, there's no way to do it! 'Dolls Blumen? Ja, ich hoffe, dass sie blรผhen!' although tbh by standards of German (at least German German) humour that's not bad

this site has got me to the point where I wake up thinking 'haha Erika Hon-ecker would be a good display name for someone on bluesky' and i don't even need to bother checking, there are probably at least 7 trans girls using it already

my social circle involves remarkably few repeated first names, however I know several Sara(h)s who are all cis lesbians and several Tesses who are all trans ones. this probably only indicates my social circles are overwhelmingly lesbian and trans but it feels like it should be significant somehow

funny that safety as a trans woman is defined by the tension btw the poles of it not really mattering if someone thinks you're trans but knowing that acting on that assumption - if you turned out to be cis - would carry the penalty of social death so severe they would have to move to another country

other project I had back then was a sitcom about two soviet agents in 1950s America, a depressed alcoholic English academic in a pretend marriage to a nerdy awkward East German woman who, it emerges, is trans. he's grossed out and transphobic at first but slowly falls genuinely in love with her
