Summer and Autumn get used as girl’s names ~1,200 per million and ~2,000 per million per year since the 1970s or so. “Fall” is only about 3 per million, “Winter” takes off with Game of Thrones TV show around 2011 leading to 600 per million, but was in use since the 70s to the tune of about 70-100 per mil.

Parents have been identifying their kids as seasons for decades.

Don’t forget all the kids named after months.

January Jones was a famous actress for a minute. November Kelly is a popular podcaster. April, May, and June are all common girl’s names.

Parents have been identifying their kids as seasons for decades.

Try millennia. You can find people named after months and seasons going back to antiquity. Hell, many of the months/seasons themselves were originally the names of ancient mythological gods and heroes.

vaultdweller013 ,

Also Julius and Augustus, give to two of the most important Romans to name months after themselves.

AngryCommieKender ,

Spring isn’t used as a name, I guess?

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Ah, missed that one. Thanks for pointing that out.

Looks like ~20 per mil for most every decade except a jump from the late ‘60s to late ‘70s peaking at about 180 per mil. Perhaps a byproduct of the flower power/ hippy movement in the ‘60s?

Unrelated, but your comment just showed me how to make subscript on lemmy

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Really? I didn’t use any…

jj4211 ,

It was just that impressive.

My app sees the tildes behind 1200 and 2000 as markdown. It renders differently on the website (and probably other apps)

You see ~ this, ~ while I see this

RememberTheApollo_ ,

TIL how to (unintentionally) subscript.

“Don’t they know the gay apparel” is a hilarious misheard lyric

Underwaterbob ,

Identifying as a season? That’s almost as ridiculous as identifying as the position of the stars and planets at your birth! You know, that thing that apparently millions of people actually do do. Maybe Fox should go after astrology. That might be a cause worth pursuing.

Heheheh. I said “do do”.

yuri ,

Conservatives are so fucking boring. The ones I’m forced to interact with talk about politics at a massively inflated rate compared to anyone else. It’s always shit that makes them angry too, like the only joy you can get out of life is righteous indignation.

Privileged white fuckers are the last people who have any right to be righteously indignant over anything right now, and that’s the majority of conservatives in America.

Nosavingthrow ,

They can’t WAIT to inject thag shit into EVERYTHING. Bro, I’m talking about gardening. I don’t care that you believe Biden is the worst president of all time.

cultsuperstar ,

Fox News is in the business of making their viewers hate everyone else.

anhydrous ,

My dad was tricked with the “cat litter box” made-up moral panic. SMN has an episode on it (can’t remember which one), but some people are too far gone to admit they’ve been deceived by made-up fox news.

ILikeBoobies ,

I’m an autumn

Oh wait people have been saying that since forever

jeffw OP ,

What a slippery slope though!!! Next up people with identify with astrological signs!!!

Deconceptualist ,

I grew up with classmates named Autumn, April, and December (she went by DeeDee). I had a co-worker named June. I’ve known of kids named Summer, January, Augustus, and September. But none of them picked these names; it was the parents who identified them as months or seasons!

(And yes obviously the Fox story is beyond stupid)

danc4498 ,

Did they personify their season/month?

Deconceptualist ,

Not really, no. lol

“I feel more masculine in the summertime. I wear more masculine clothing, I wear shorts. I normally have my hair up more and I just feel more ‘boy’, whereas in the winter – for some reason – girl mode comes out and I’m loving skirts and dresses and having my hair down.”

This is from a video that the Fox story is about. Fox totally missed the point, I’m guessing intentionally so.

But can we talk about that statement for a second? (I’m leftist af and I strongly believe trans people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, just like everybody else; this has nothing to do with that.) I’m having a hard time accepting this statement.

I would obviously never support the misogynistic belief that women should (only) wear skirts/dresses. But as it turns out, the idea that dresses and long hair are inherently feminine (or that shorts and short hair are inherently masculine) also makes me uncomfortable. I recognize that a lot of people see it that way, but I don’t think that makes it right, or a belief that should continue to propagate.

I’m a dude, and I hope to see a day where I can grow out my hair and wear a dress without people assuming it means anything about me beyond that I like dresses and long hair.

(Please let me know if this is insensitive and I will remove my comment. I’m not interested in starting an unproductive or hateful discussion here)

Deconceptualist ,

Are you responding to me, or just the story in general? I basically agree with you entirely and don’t have much to add to what you just said.

Well, except that long hair and long skirt-like clothing items were worn by men for hundreds of years; look at almost any painting from the middle ages lol

Kalysta ,

This sounds like a person who’s non-binary and trying to explain it to someone who isn’t.

Unfortunately fox news doesn’t want to understand. They want to mock and bulky.

Bluefalcon ,

Hey guys, we know one of ours is batshit crazy and blasting dogs and goats for no reason. So, what is our craziest ol faithful hate? Steve? Trans kids identify has fall.

Wow, look at that idiot! Sir, that’s the head of the company! “Tonight! Are your kids identifying as seasons?”

Alexstarfire ,

Their base loves the weirdest entertainment.

chetradley ,

Fox News is betting that if people are too distracted by what “the woke” are doing, they won’t realize that the ultra wealthy are robbing them blind.

Daft_ish ,

Fox News. What a fucking turd. A bunch of people you wouldn’t want to spend 5 minutes with telling you shit that makes no sense and lieing straight to your face to make you angry. No wonder trolls are so prevalent. Republicans worship them.

chetradley ,

Their entire business model is drumming up culture war bullshit to keep people distracted from the fact they’re losing the class war.

ColeSloth ,

I mean, I just met a kid yesterday who was named Winter…

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Ew gross that kid is woke and we should end them.

ColeSloth ,

Wait…is he woke, or was it his parents who are woke?

RizzRustbolt ,

I’m an autumn.
