just interested in hearing peoples stories for how y’all have chosen your new names! doesn’t have to be particularly profound or interesting really, i just like hearing about others experiences.
i’m actually planning on changing my own soon socially despite being cis, and just really like hearing how others came to find their names, as well as am curious about if anyone had to go through more than one to find what’s right for them. i figured this would be the best community to talk about the topic even if i’m not trans :)
i agree! if the feminine version of your deadname brings bad memories and feelings, ditch it :) it’s nice that that works for some people, but there’s no reason to feel beholden to it if it’s not for you.
i like maya :) i hope it works for you!
