My name isn't legally changed, so most people in my English class know me by my birth name.  It's kinda gender-neutral, but more on the feminine side.  Last night there was an online assignment where we would correct eath others' essays.  And in their review of my essay, one of the students refered to me as "he".   :icon_geekdance:

That's awesome!  ;D I find that people's first impressions are very hard to shake - for example, with a male name, if people saw me as female, it just could never cross their minds that I was male. They saw female and they couldn't see anything else.

Hah thats awesome.  That happened to me a lot pre-T and even pre-trans.  I got a lot of "thats an interesting name for a guy"
