My dad has a little gag he loves doing that involves me being trans (it’s fun- don’t worry).
So, my dead name is also the name of a food item (spelled different but sounds the same). We sometimes eat that food item- it’s a nice treat. His little joke is that he will only call that food “Dead Names”- which leads to hilarious instances of hearing my 70 year old father call out “Hey, I’m going to go grab some Dead Names while we’re here!” while he’s half way down the isle in the grocery store, or him coming home and saying “hey, I picked up a box of Dead Names while I was out! :)”
It just makes me so overwhelmingly happy that my old name is not something wrapped in grief. It doesn’t represent a loss. It is something we can smile about and remember even if it doesn’t fit me anymore.

The genders? Yeah, I know those. I'm aware of them. There's:
Monster high doll
Mad scientist
Clown, or jester or mime of some sort
creature made of mist that sits and listens
the loch ness monster
supervillain
superhero
librarian with a mysterious white streak in their hair
box of deer teeth
robot from outer space

hilarious and gender affirming transmasc/transfem t4t couple moment: went to a smoke shop to look at weed accessories, cashier takes our IDs that have our deadnames and pre-transition photos on them, comes back and hands them to us correctly, but goes "oh my god, I'm so sorry, wrong ID's! I handed them back the wrong way!" my girlfriend instantly caught on but i had to stand there like ??? before leaning in and going "we're both transgender, you're fine." life is great, i love being trans, t4t love forever
