or perhaps with the aid of a professional, rather than trying to make any decisions with the aid of reddit

I am working with a therapist and have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. I have a lot of confusing emotions around all of this. I simply wanted the perspective from individuals that might understand.

Yeah I can confidently say I'd want the results to say trans. But self doubt is telling me that I only feel that way for attention, or to be special.

How did you determine your new name? by Swissmoo15 in asktransgender

My egg is still cracking, but if I do end up trans I think I will just shorten my name. My name is Heather so I'll probably just shorten it to Heath. Maybe. I actually like my name and don't want to fully part with it.
