Hi @Lee101, I can definitely understand why you wish you could just have a fresh start to introduce yourself - it seems unfair and unreasonable that you have to re-introduce yourself to people and field all of their questions and feelings towards who you are.

 

I can hear that you're worried about being misgendered by your family too. Is there anything in particular that makes you concerned that they might do this, or is it more because they know you well and the adjustment might take them some time? I think it's so wonderful that you're telling new people that your preferred name is Lee, that in itself is a huge step. I hope it feels affirming 🥰
