Name
fernsy is a diminutive of Fern, her post-transition middle name and nickname. This name was chosen as a tribute to a close transfem friend whose middle name is Leaf.
An older name for her, yagton, is still in collective memory and frequently used, though not preferred. It is a blend of her former middle name Ashton and the acronym YAGNI ("you aren't gonna need it").
Other names include slaska, and slaskax (used when slaska is taken), both of which are meant to be easily typed on a QWERTY keyboard.
History
fernsy first joined OWOT in April 2018 and later the OWOT Discord server in August 2021.
Gender transition
fernsy had been aware of her transgender status since around 2018, but was not in a position to act on it, as she lived in Oklahoma - a state with several anti-LGBT laws, and her parents were unsupportive.
AndreiXYZ, a close friend of fernsy, was one of the first to know.
On 1 July 2024, she announced that she was transgender.
Chicago
fernsy moved to Chicago sometime in October 2024.
Personal life
She worked at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City; where she once lived. She had expressed a desire to move to Chicago, motivated by Oklahoma's anti-LGBT laws, which has since been acted on.
