Name

The name Yagton is a blend of her middle name Ashton and the acronym YAGNI ("you aren't gonna need it"). Her 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

Yagton first joined the OWOT Discord server in August 2021.

Gender transition

Yagton had been aware of her transgender status since around 2019, 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 Yagton, was one of the first to know.

On 1 July 2024, she announced that she was transgender.

Personal life

She works at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City; where she lives. She has expressed a desire to move to Chicago, motivated by Oklahoma's anti-LGBT laws.
