I UNDERSTAND THIS! except it was the opposite for me lol..Ā 

for a long time after i detransitioned and changed my name back to my deadname, people still chose to call my by my old name, Will. Around that time i went by Will, it was just an overall bad time in my life along with being surrounded by bad people and i hated all association with that name. It took a lot of time passing and healing from the past for me to be at peace again with that name LOL, even though iā€™m not trans anymore, I feel comfortable to go by that name again and now iā€™m able to reclaim it almost as a name i picked myself for myself (if that even makes sense LOLOLL)



That's so beautiful, I love that. Whether a name is given or chosen, I think what gives it it's meaning is a combination of it's history, it's use in identity, and what it symbolizes to you

your name grows with you. this was an awe inspiring blog and it really resonated, as someone who has felt so similarly for a long time. glad to read here about what you've overcome, it is inspiring.



I'm glad it resonated with you, and thank you for reading, it means a lot
