minus-square@Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish18•8 months agoI got extra confused by the names Rori, Dori, Reba, and George. I want to apologize in advance for dead naming. But it helps to fully understand. They were born Lori and Dori. Dori went after the name Reba, after Reba McIntire, and pursued country singing. In 2007, Dori had come out as a trans man and preferred to be publicly known as George.
