They So Tiney

Yes this Jew approves 2

Hey, I know it's a Jewish tradition to name kids after a deceased loved one to honor them, but in your opinion would a trans person naming themself after the loved one have the same effect? Not asking you to speak for all Jewish people of course, but I'm not Jewish myself and I'd love to hear your opinion on the dimension it adds to the headanon that Peter Parker is trans and picked Benjamin as a middle name for Uncle Ben

so I'd like to clarify that the a. this tradition is pretty much exclusively ashkenazi (which I am my middle name was chosen to honor three different relatives) b. it's not that it isn't meant to honor our family members, it's just that also the reason we only name our children after dead people is it was believed that if you named your child after a living person when it was the older person's time to die the angel of death might get confused and take the kid instead (which is why when my older brother was named yoseph my uncle joe asked "do you want me dead??" which is very funny but he was actually named after a different relative ofc)

anyway I don't know how I feel about peter naming himself after uncle ben so let's figure it out together lmao. peter isn't a very jewish name so it's nice for him to also have a typical jewish middle name (I feel like most jew know a ben, benjamin, binyamin, benny, etc). but also if you're going to hc peter as a trans man, he'd probably be trans already by the time ben dies, right? like it's a whole other tragedy if peter named himself after ben and then ben died like, holy shit the jewish guilt he'd get from that. did he kill his uncle by trying to honor him? or possibly he could choose that middle name after uncle ben dies, choosing to carry him with him everywhere he goes...

you know what I def like this idea. like it works for angst either way and is a really sweet character choice. so yeah this jew approves

they are too cuttttttttttte
