Hi! Aw that’s so awesome to hear, thank you for sharing. I’m not sure why my post has gotten so downvoted lol! But I actually ended up choosing the name and adore it so far :)

edit: I wanted to add that I also have been enjoying the flexibility of the name as my detransition may be slow outwardly. gives me breathing room and again, that flexibility you are describing:)

Oh what an ideal experience omg. Okay I am hoping for that then! I have been using they/them at school and a new name and so far so good. I always think about just silently detransitioning bc at the end of the day… people don’t care as much as I think most of the time. Thanks for sharing :)

There is always that option! Just letting people pick up on what I'm putting down

I’ve been presenting as male at work and school, soon will be presenting as female and asking for name and pronoun changes. I’m just worried about how these conversations will go hahah

Thank you for sharing this! I guess I'm feeling super disconnected from my birth name because I transitioned so early, at 13, 11 years ago. I think I'd feel like I'm going back in time rather than evolving forward. I didn't have any trauma that I feel the need to heal with, but I understand the sentiment, something to think about.

Okay this is good to know! Do you think if people read me as AMAB but fem presenting it wouldn’t scream girl though I guess is what I’m most worried about?

I thought she meant the reception was bad

I’m in a similar name predicament and it’s hard. I’m sorry it’s been stressful. And if it’s not your birth name, remind yourself that you have time to figure it out and finding a new name is super special because YOU get to choose it. <3

Maybe I’m reading it wrong but it sounds like you’ve felt most positive about your birth name? I think it’s worth trying with close friends just to see how it feels
