"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.
He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”
and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

@grainloom I dig it. I changed my name when my given one no longer applied. When we named our kid, I vowed to assist with the paperwork and cost of changing eir name as soon as e seemed competent enough to pick a name (I don't plan on personally paying for it multiple times...).
I like my names like I like my family: intentional, supportive and covered in bees... (wait, one of those isn't right...)
