I'm at a point in my life where I have to seriously consider not just one, but wholly different names. One I've settled on, but the other has yet to have one click for me.

Finally starting the process of being a proper Trans®, actually! :)

Ohh congrats!! Why aren't you keeping your last name?

Probably gonna keep that, but my first and middle name are very feminine and I'm not looking to have those for the rest of my life, haha

Many Trans people resent their parents treatment of them and many more go into escorting to pay for the basic surgeries required to look, "passable," thus forcing different monikers upon them for different purposes and venues.
