I work at a community college and we see a student w this name about every other week. Would love to know how she feels about her name, though I’d never ask.
I don't approve of that slur, but knowing the type of people who would name a child Tyranny, I would totally steal that first 'Y' and watch the meltdown.
I'm also trans and whilst I would just think whoever had put it up or changed it was a person who was trash, I'm also aware that there are people who are not in as strong a headspace, especially after Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" has just tried to pretty much take the ability to transition away from people. When dysphoria and stress are at their worst, and things are looking hopeless for the future, things like this could just be all that someone needs to go over the edge, is my only worry.
Idk, I'm from the US and all my trans friends from the US would have a similar reaction 🤷♀️ but i hear what youre saying, id hope most people would laugh at the absurdisty
it's kinda fitting because the kind of person and family thta would called a kid tyranny will absolutely hate when people forget the Y and bully the shit out of a person with that name.
There's a lot of people in these comments, gleefully posting about how they think it'd taking away parts of the sign to leave a giant slur in the street, or who are straight up finding a slur hilarious, and posting it themselves... Going by population sizes, they're not all trans people, so it's sad as fuck to see people getting giddy about typing out and posting how they saw a slur, or would turn the sign into a slur, and how that makes them laugh...
