Sometimes I wish I chose a more masculine name. I almost changed my name a few times throughout my early transition. I thought about being a Scott, a Davey, a Jonas. I feel like those are all me well enough, but unfortunately I was not surrounded by kind and supportive ppl (not even in a transphobic way, more like a mean judgmental way), and so anytime I brought it up I was always shut down. But my chosen name is very me, and the fact it’s unisex honestly can be a lifesaver sometimes. I’m at a point in my transition I come across as androgynous and can use it to my advantage to present myself how I want or need to. It gives me leeway. And the story behind why I chose it is cute :] but sometimes the vagueness of it is rly annoying and dysphoria-inducing
