Does everyone have an opposite gender name they would use?

Say if someone came up to you and asked “If you were a boy/girl what would your name be?” could you answer them without needing think or is that not something most people give a thought to?

she/they

Same, but I was thinking that no way I’d go back to the old one. But my current name doesn’t have an obvious gender flip, so I’d have to come up with an entirely new name again.

Can you expand on that? Not asking for more personal Info than you want to share but how do people weaponize that? How shitty our our fellow human beings?

I feel a bit out of the loop standing here on my white CIS (is that even the right term?) privilege thinking people are getting better over time because I wouldn’t experience or even notice such things

I can’t pretend to know such fear but it’s horrifying there are people like that
