I'll be the first to admit I'm not super informed on a lot of trans stuff, but I'm curious. Is it because it's similar to your dead name, or something completely new? How long did it take for you yourself to get used to hearing/responding to it?

Obviously don't use your real name*

    I tried four different ones. Three variations of my deadname and one that wasn't. I went with easily the sexiest, yet most basic white girl name variation of my deadname. It honestly took me a while to get used to being referred to by my new name and sometimes it feels very surreal.
