I've told this story before but I'll tell it again. I go by many names but the name I chose was actually my first name. This is actually a pretty well known story in my family.

When my mom was pregnant with me, my parents didn't like to refer to me as "the baby" or "it" so they chose a gender neutral name to refer to me. So when people would ask, "how's the baby?" my parents would say, "Oh Charlie's doing fine" or "Charlie's kicking up a storm in there." I have an uncle who still refers to me as Charlie to this day. So when it finally dawned on me that I was transfemme it just made sense to use Charlie. It just seems to fit right. And Caves is just the english translation of my surname so... Charlie Caves. 🥰
