I’m from the age group that keeps their legal/ real name off the internet but the struggle is real
Being transneutral, I don’t really get to use my chosen names without explaining about them
Like, as both a transneutral/ trans-agender/ agender-genderqueer person and an aroace person I literally *have* to out myself if I want to get gendered/ addressed/ recognised correctly
But that urge to hear/ read my chosen names conflicts with my urge to stay anonymous/ not share too many identifiers on the internet
Which is why my blog description on several blogs is kinda vague, although it is relatively easy to cross-reference my tumblr URLs and figure out the blogs are run by the same person
But so far neither of my chosen names is in any way connected to my legal documents/ my official identity
So I suppose it’s fine if I occasionally mention that my chosen name’s Léonid Yanis
But I probably will go back to some internet-only pseud once I get the legal paperwork into motion
