Trans Talk on Sidechat | I’m just starting to transition now (mtf w/ a hint of nb), and I’ve been obsessively brainstorming a new first name. If I pick a gender neutral name, is that just a cop out?? Or is that chill?? Will I be shot on sight by the gender police??

The history of my gender-neutral name is as trans as I am, and it just so happens to fit perfectly :p Find a name that makes YOU happy and run with it!
