I think Ohio might be too racist to elect this guy.
I don't know, Bobby Jindal got elected and so did Nikki Haley.
Of course, they changed their names to something that sounded less exotic to American ears.
It’s Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley
I am not cool with that actually. People have a right to use whatever names for themselves they choose. If that applies to trans people, which it does, it also applies to cis people.
If she wants to be Nikki Haley, fine.
I'll default to respecting people's chosen names, but if they don't offer that respect to others, they lose it from me.
So if a trans person doesn’t respect someone’s chosen name, you will deadname them? Doesn’t that make you no better than people like Haley?
Exactly. Until she respects trans people, she's a Nimrod to me.
Interesting you compare Nimarata’s attempt to cover her origins so she can be more appealing to her conservative audience to the dead names of trans people. I guess you’re saying it’s totally cool to identify as a different race when it works in your favor. Personally, I think such comparisons are an insult to trans people.
No, I think people are allowed to change their names and other people should respect their chosen identities.
I assume you don't talk about President Leslie Lynch King Jr. despite the fact that he changed his name to Gerald Ford because it sounded more manly, right? Who cares why people change their name?
The whole point is that this should be a universal acceptance thing.
It’s important to remember where she came from
No it isn’t. Self-identity is self-identity. Why should someone be an exception just because they’re horrible? Caitlyn Jenner is a Trump supporter and killed a person. Should we call her Bruce?
