destroy the idea that trans people need to pick new names close to their given names, but also don’t make fun of those who do pick names with similar sounds or letters. it’s a comfort thing for some.

Demolish the idea that trans people even have to change their given names if they don’t want to. If your pal John says that she’s a girl, then John is a girl name. Names do not have genders beyond the people who use them.
