Hello,
I've been hanging around here for about a month and a half. When I first signed on to chat, I called myself Tammy Renee. This is a name I choose because it is close to the name that I was given at birth, not much thought was given to it.
I was in chat one day and Taylor (a F2M ts.) signed in and told how his mother had been the one that had renamed him. This profoundly provoked my to thought, I then was able to somewhat understand how my mom must be feeling. Here is her eldest child, who she has sweated, cried and fussed over for many decades, rejecting everything that she had given "him" over the years, including his name.
When I spoke with my mom the next time, after she corrected herself for calling me by my former name, I recounted to her Taylor's story, how it made me think and how I felt. I asked her what name she would give me. She asked if I was asking what she would have named me if I have been born a girl, I told her no. What I was asking was, if she had had another daughter what would she have named her. My mom told me that she has always loved the name Heather Rose. So please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Heather Rose
Always love,
Heather Rose
