on kids and naming
Apropos nothing, my four year old son just turned to me and asked, “What name will I have when I’m a grown up?”
“Well,” I said, “most people have the same name as adults that they do as little people, but you can have a different one if you want. Some people do that.”
“I like my name,” he said. “I want to have it forever!” He paused, thinking, then added, “But some people change their names, because they don’t like being grown ups.”
“Or because they don’t like their names,” I said.
He nodded agreement, then told me a list of his friends who he thinks like their names.
And I mention this, not just because it’s a funny anecdote, but because it’s yet another example of just how easy it is to explain trans stuff to kids. Some people change their names as adults for lots of reasons, and that’s okay! It’s genuinely that simple.
