I answered the phone with my old name!

Blargh, what was I thinking! Hmm, I guess I wasn't.

I think most of us had that issue at least once

I remember last year, some classmates were calling out my name. I never answered them because I had not gotten used my new yet ....not to the point where I instinctively turn my head to see who was saying my name.

They stated, "oh my god, are you deaf?"

lol, so it does happen

I used the wrong pronouns on myself dancing in front of the mirror, don't feel bad!

Shades, did you get your civil name changed already? It is so tough to change it here in Brazil

Were you using your female voice? lol.

@Bird, I haven't legally changed my name yet. But, I'm listed as "Constance" in all company directories except for human resources/payroll. There, I'm still "David."

@JenJen, I honestly can't remember if I answered with my femme voice, but I was sure to use my "David" voice for the rest of the call (which was mercifully short).

@Tracey, when I talk to myself I still call myself "David."

@Annah, in the last week before starting my RLE it was hard to answer the phone with my legal name!
