ghostname

when a deadname is somehow remembered on some secret medical record or google plus account even after you’ve spent months or years deleting paypals and updating hospital files and burning bridges. and then, like jacob marley, it somehow pops back up as a suggested username on some random tuesday decades later when you’re setting up a new pokemon go account and were least prepared to handle that trauma
“my brand new iphone ghostnamed me this morning before i even had coffee, i have no idea where it found that info”

“oh shit, but u haven’t used any other name for the like 20 years i’ve known u... i... didnt even know u were trans tbh??

sugar glider

someone who provides emotional support in exchange for material support in a relationship, synonymous with sugar baby or bbg; counterpart to a sugar daddy. sex is often part of the exchange, but let’s be real, if being a glider was just about getting someone off that would be so easy that everyone would be doing it.

people who work several marks, or are just openly polyamorous, tend to call themselves gliders instead of babies, probably because of the freedom that “glider” implies. term is usually only spoken between providers, not with the johns, who would rather use custom pet names instead of transactional titles. glider is significantly gender-neutral and age-neutral, making it more a versatile term, ie. with tech workers, where the person providing emotional labor is probably older than the person with the dough.

derived from the f***ing adorable marsupials that steal your heart while crushing your soul with their big black eyes.

hatching doesn't imply you transform from an ugly cis child into a beautiful swan bb or anything, most of us just become fucked up omelettes

hatcher

a tran who spreads the trans virus, actively or unintentionally. usually someone who is emotionally accessible to cis people who are subconsciously questioning their gender (eggs), and can provide some minimum amount of emotional labor to blow that persons mind and/or offers them their first free hit of HRT.

a person who engages in the sport of hatching eggs, usually by flirting with str8 boys at the bar knowing that 10% of them will wake up tomorrow morning realizing they're not actually cis

trap

a pretty trans girl

originally a transphobic term used by no homo bros and closeted chasers to signal to each other that someone was a trans girl, ie. "sure you want to buy her a drink? she's a trap iykwim." popular among star wars eggs who are masking around cis boy gamers by putting down their own fam.

long considered an untouchable pejorative among trans women bc of its relation to transbashing, the term was slowly reclaimed to be a sassy compliment from one trans girl to another: "shit grrl, you're such a trap." now fully reclaimed by trans women, as with fish, and being used to mean any trans girl regardless of her sexual appeal to straight men. often combined with a pun, ie. "bear trap" for someone who dates bears, or "booby trap" for someone with bounteous tits.
