      Just gaslight everyone.

        See, I do, but I still want to change it.

        At first I was like, “I sure got lucky with the only neutral name of the three.” But now I have a chosen name. (Hardly used, but darn it I think I really like it.)

          I wish I had a gender neutral name. My name is about as gendered as it gets. I’ve thought of a couple of names but I dunno why, it feels weird naming myself something.

        Generated locally on my phone by a small, purpose built neural net trained on work of paid and consenting artists at apple, likely using renewable-powered inference compute. (I charge my phone at night, when a large portion of electricity on my local grid is likely nuclear)

      Yeah I think I have that problem. I’ve had my hair long for ~8 years, am regularly wearing nail polish, I have a long skirt I like to wear around the house and nobody cares. Should just come out already, but that’s scawy

      • The longer its been, the harder it gets to come out. Eventually I decided to wear a bra with shirt that made it kinda obvious I was wearing a bra to bait my parents into starting a conversation I could use as an excuse to bring it up finally.
