So, If Emily Marries Tracer

Becasue let’s get real, it’s been what? 6 years when she knew Emily at Storm rising and who knows when how long she really met her?

So here is the question I have and I am being honest here. LGBTQ guys please do not roast me, I am intrigued by this. If Emily becomes “Mrs. Oxton” and Tracer is “Mrs. Oxton” how will they know which one is which when someone calls out to them? Do gays and lesbians get confused on this?

I don’t know if you are young or if it’s a matter of where you are from, but in many countries now you are not required to change your name after you get married, it’s up to the person. In some places, changing your last name was never even a thing.

But answering your specifc question: yes, they can both be Mrs. Oxton and it would be confusing as hell. The same way kids with two moms or two dads get confused when calling their parents.
But seeing how they recently like to portray Tracer as quirky and dumb, I guess it would fit :woman_shrugging:

Ahh interesting. So, is that why they do hyphen last names now? I am in America btw and yeah, personally, the only reason why a woman took a man’s last name is because back in the day, they sold the woman away like slaves to the man so that family may get something in return and then the woman became “their property” hence why the “man gives away the woman” but not vice versa which is dumb in itself and I do not personally believe in. Can’t stand it actually.

Yeah, I just was confused on this. I am a millennial, older than most but I am not sure how in the LGBT community they handle having the kid call “mom and mom” or “dad and dad” and how which mom knows who is being called lol. Like, do they come up with different names now?

Tracer as Mrs. Oxton and then Emily as Mrs. Oxton would be confusing to me lol Like you are friends with Tracer and go to Tracer and say “Hey Mrs. Oxton!” and Emily waves back and you are like “Uhh who are you?” lol How embarrassing right?

It’s not only that, there was also the “passing down the family name” tradition. It’s all part of the patriarchal society traditions.

From what I learned they just scream “Mom!” or “Dad” like everybody else, and when it’s not the one they want to talk to, they say “No,the other mom.” or “No,the other dad.”:grin:

My mom kept her last name when she married my dad, and my sister and I have different last names. It’s amusing how it confuses people.

In the hypothetical case of them adopting or going to a fertility clinic, I could see their kid/s calling one mom or mother and the other one mum (they are brits after all), or they might refer to their moms by their first names.

Now that you bring up them marrying, it is a little weird that they aren’t married after six years. They might be, though I didn’t see a ring on either’s fingers. Maybe they eloped , but there’s no evidence of that.

Maybe they’ll tell us when we get some new lo-ahahahahahah, almost made it.

Simple solution:
Tracer is Mrs. Oxton 1, Emily is Mrs. Oxton 2
Sounds dumb af but would work

B)

Here in Spain, the woman also keeps her last name. If someone were to call someone’s wife by the last name of the husband, people would think she’s his sister or something lol

That is pretty rad fam. I never knew how many women actually keep their own last names.

Maybe if they adopt or have kids of their own (I mean, it is the future here and well, it could happen!)

Maybe one will be mama and the other mom?

As for their last names, I wish we even knew Emily’s lol Would be cool if she was a Lindholm!

I once knew a guy with two dads. Since there’s several ways to refer to a male parent, each one had a version of it reserved.

He called one of them “pa” and the other “dad”.

Mama, mom, momma, mother, ma etc. There are ton of ways to call moms.

Usually a child sticks to just one pronoun to call their parents.

Yeah, see, that is easier. With males at least. “Ma” and “mom” are so close it would be confusing ya know?

Kid: HEY MOM

Both: What?

Can’t be mom and mother?

Yeah I guess so. I mean, if it distinguishes them? That is probably what will be done. Unless, Tracer wants to be known as “dad” to which some lesbians couples do if the one agrees to pull of a male (Tracer looks like a boy in ways?)

Shame there is no other word for mom as all start with “m” lol

Mama and Mom, I think are different enough.

It’s spelt Amélie that’s Widowmaker’s real name.

Amélie and Emily are two different people.
