I didn't know where to post this, and its probably a dumb question, but... I've been having a bit of a conflict: should I label my gift to my mother as being from me as my female or male self? Do you think that would make her uncomfortable? I fought the urge when wrapping gifts to other family members and actually had to redo labels a couple times. But it just seems more right to label it as from Morgan. She still hasn't addressed me as such and I don't think she notices how much it hurts my feelings. I'm just really torn by this. Opinions are very welcome because I really don't know what to do...

As soon as I began to transition I only ever used my female name. If people didn't like it their hard look. I also handed back presents addressed to my former name. They weren't meant for me.

I laid the law down firmly so it was over and done with. I also refused to respond to my former male name.

Once I started I only labeled things as being from Mariah. Where it was more difficult was dealing with my nieces. I opted for not putting aunt in front and Just put it was from Mariah. Hugs

I feel like I should specify that I'm not out yet. My mom knows because she confronted me on my behavior when I was still trying to figure everything out.
We're doing a big family gift swap on Friday and I'm wondering if I should label my mom's gift from Morgan or Tim. However, the opinions are appreciated. I'm just not a very confrontational girl and find it hard to be like that.

I'm kinda in the same boat with my folks. They are not using my birth name, but they are still adjusting to Tamika, so 99% of the time I'm "T". I don't want to press the issue this year, but I also don't want to give gifts from an initial, so I'm just not wrapping. Santa style, yo.

I just don't put my name at all on the from line.  This year I just wrote From: The Unknown One.  Let them ponder the meaning of that.
