    I'm really excited about this, so I thought I'd share it with you guys.

    I've had a rough couple of days, in part because I was struggling with gender stuff, but things are looking up. Today I decided (very impulsively) to tell my girlfriend my chosen name. I'm already out to her about my gender, and I assumed she'd just be like "oh cool" and move on, but the first thing she said was "would you like me to call you that?" so now I have someone who calls me by my real name, and it already feels awesome :slight_smile:

    She said she really likes the name Jesse and that it seems very fitting for me, which is great because I was kinda worried she wouldn't like it as much as I do. So basically the whole thing went so perfectly.
