The more I think about it, the less I care about changing all my documents and shit. The name I use for paperwork basically never comes up in normal interactions, and when it does I genuinely just find it funny. Like, a security guard one time who said “huh, thats a weird name to give to a girl, what was your mom thinking!!” or an old ass man who looked at me like Im an alien when
and he looked up my registration. Maybe I’m stupid cuz it might put me in danger or something, but after 4 ish years of being stealth, I don’t even care about being outed anymore. Actually, I kinda wish I was more visually trans sometimes, because I know for a fact some of the people I work with and see every day don’t know any trans people (or at least don’t know that they know) and only hear about them on fox news and shit. Anyways… Ramble over, thanks for reading it :D
I used to feel similar, I don’t like the idea of the government having an official record of me transing my gender, but at the same time being deadnamed and misgendered on official documents sucks.
(similar feels)
((would like to get an “x” and my name on my documents but like, I don’t wanna attract any more “hey I’m a subversive” attention than I have to and would like to leave
for good at some point before the decade’s out))
