Love living in a queer household

[cosmolinguist]

As V was going upstairs for their shower today, they said to me "oh, there's a letter in your LARP name here." Like it's a really normal thing to say.

(I can't remember if I explained here, but I call it a LARPname instead of a deadname because it's not dead, it's limited to certain...roles that I sometimes have to play in live-action.)

Oddly enough because of the way UK law works (legal name change, replacement bc and all that) I couldn't legally use that deadname even if I wanted to. :o)

LARP name is very apt.

I do like that.

I insistently refer to mine as "my old name". I don't still use it and I don't want anyone to use it for me, but it's not its fault, and the implications of "deadname" don't fit my experience.

LARPname sounds like the perfect term for it!

Yeah, this applies to me too.

It is a normal thing to say, pay no attention to the high queer rating of my household.
