... and so far its going well ^^
Since I chose a technically unisex version of the name my parents picked out if i was a cis-boy, they [and people who still 'know' me as female] have easily gone with it. ^^ For those who don't know already, I was once known by the name of 'Cheryl', which I always hated, even before I figured out that I was trans. I've only now been able to change it, being old enough now. :) Its now LEGALLY Aeron. :) I've not changed my title, yet, since I've not been able to change my gender officially on paper yet, since I'm still in the very first stages of transition in the eyes of the medical profession, and all that. :s
I'm still in the process of making sure people know I'm serious, despite being out technically for WELL over a year and a half, and this is a small step forward in the eyes of others, and a big one for me. :)
Its come into effect at work, now, and I'm starting to get mail in that name :) And my mum is really making an effort to go by it, too ^w^ So far, so good. :)
Just gotta make sure all the other official bodies I've notified put it into action and all will be fine and dandy on that front. :)
TL;DR: Shaken my old name for a new one, and am PROPER buzzing on it xD
CONGRATS!!!!
Name change, big step. :)
Congratsssss!!!!!!!
Congrats! I'm happy for you. :)
Thanks everyone. :)
My mum's still tripping up on it, and has resorted to using my nickname til she gets used to 'Aeron'. xD And it feels great hearing it at work. :) Cant wait to get my new name badge xD
