How TiMs choose their new middle names
I just scrolled through like 200 comments on a post on r/mtf that asked TiMs how they selected their new middle names.

A disturbingly-large percentage of these men adopted their grandmother’s name, or their mom’s name, or even their sister’s name. I mean…I can’t say I’m shocked, but that doesn’t mean I’m not skeeved out.

And there were so many Liliths. At least five Liliths. Four Lunas. Four Roses. A handful of other goddess names. Two Autumns.

I fear my eyeballs are permanently rolled.

That is SO creepy! They want their own female family members names?! They want our clothes, our hair, our diseases. They take over sororities, bathrooms, sports. Is there anything they won't steal from women? I feel like some day we're going to find a TIM with a woman in the pit in his basement a la Buffalo Bill.

A man appropriating the name of one of his female relatives (let alone a living female relative) is just so utterly, indescribably gross. Is having someone notice it (and feel repulsed by it) part of the sexual thrill? Fucking explain yourself, dude. There needs to be so much more societal scrutiny and shame directed at males who pull this shit.

A trans-identifying-male who has appropriated the name of a living female relative has almost certainly also stolen, and gotten a boner from, that woman's underwear.

It's just male entitlement. They have to be the first woman or a goddess or steal the name of someone close to them. In their minds they are the best and they can take whatever they want. But all they are doing is making themselves even easier to clock. They are so unoriginal.
