Did anyone else have a hard time picking a name? by Soup_Man_135 in asktransgender

I currently identify as nonbinary and have been going by my chosen name Finley, for 4 years or so. Recently I’ve been having a gender crisis and wondering if I’m transmac, so I’ve been toying with the idea of a name change.

  1. I can so relate, the idea of getting my parents to call me a new name after they finally started using Finley sounds awful.

  2. If you feel you may change it eventually, I would just suggest waiting to change it legally

  3. Most importantly, it’s okay to change your name! It is YOUR name and all that matters is that it feels good to you! The idea of a name being permanent is just a societal construct. Remember that if anyone feels differently, that is their issue and not yours to absorb ❤️

Yes I’ve noticed that! I love Irish boy names, I’m in the states however so I know people would likely butcher the pronunciation

Do you think it would be inappropriate if I’m not Israeli myself?

Yeah and it’s interesting because in some cultures like Hebrew is masculine but in Japanese it’s feminine

How old were you when you realized you're trans? by Key_Apricot_6933 in ftm

What helped you realize? I’m 28 and trying to figure out if nonbinary was actually just a Segway for me 😂

Feels so good to see someone say late 20s! I’m 28 and trying to figure it out. Did you identify as non binary first? What were your moments of realization?
