    I was at a summer camp a while ago and there was this pre-transition trans man who was also there. Eventually as the camp progressed and everyone got to know each other better, I told some of the queer people there I was trans so they could relate to me better.

    This person, I kid you not, said “Ha, I knew no one from cowboycrustation’s state would have a name like cowboycrustation’s name!”

    I was like…wtf. My name irl isn’t one of those names like fern or star that aren’t common among cis people. My name is a somewhat common men’s name. I literally have a cousin with the same name.

      I might be able to understand/relate to that better if you share what the name is, but of course, no pressure, as it’s personal information.
