(i ripped this off wikipedia real fast so sorry if it's lib)
In October 1776, the Public Universal Friend contracted an epidemic disease and was bedridden and near death with a high fever. Their family summoned a doctor from Attleboro, six miles away, and neighbors kept up a death-watch at night. The fever broke after several days. The Friend later reported that [deadname redacted] had died, receiving revelations from God through two archangels who proclaimed there was "Room, Room, Room, in the many Mansions of eternal glory for Thee and for everyone". The Friend further said that [deadname redacted]'s soul had ascended to heaven and the body had been reanimated with a new spirit charged by God with preaching his word, that of the "Publick Universal Friend", describing that name in the words of Isaiah 62:2 as "a new name which the mouth of the Lord hath named".
From that time on, the Friend refused to answer to their deadname, ignoring or chastising those who insisted on using it. When visitors asked if it was the name of the person they were addressing, the Friend simply quoted Luke 23:3 ("thou sayest it"). Identifying as neither male nor female, the Friend asked not to be referred to with gendered pronouns. Followers respected these wishes; they referred only to "the Public Universal Friend" or short forms such as "the Friend" or "P.U.F.", and many avoided gender-specific pronouns even in private diaries. When someone asked if the Friend was male or female, the preacher replied "I am that I am", saying the same thing to a man who criticized the Friend's manner of dress (adding, in the latter case, "there is nothing indecent or improper in my dress or appearance; I am not accountable to mortals").
editorial note: I think this is a very cool story and I really love hearing it. We've been around forever and we've been doing variations of this forever. It's really beautiful

sometimes this site is exhausting tbh. why is it that people here love armchair moralizing about other peoples’ decisions that don’t affect them (this is about the “eating slop” thread but i see it elsewhere too) without maybe considering that disabled people exist under capitalism too. i almost want to report that thread for ableism tbh.
istg sometimes i feel like this site is populated by wannabe health influencers turned communists.
I volunteered for a task at work that requires me record myself.
I have to say, "This is MR. [Dead name]" at the beginning of each recording. Then I have to hear my voice when reviewing the recordings.
Is this self harm? It's probably self harm

Huh don't really get the hype with the new blood incantation. Maybe i'll give it another listen
I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this, but is wikipedia correct about Leslie Feinberg's pronouns? So, for example, if I were to be discussing hir among an audience of non-trans people, I should use she/her?
As I recall from Trans Liberation, it echoes this sentiment that as long as one is honoring hir’s gender, she/he/sie is appropriate. It always feels strange to refer to Leslie as she however, doesn’t it? I feel this internal contradiction whenever I am talking about hir’s work.
