Thank you @Erin_RO never thought of myself as someone with grit before but I guess you're right! It took a lot of determination and resilience to get here. I wanted to give up so many times. It always made a difference knowing RO was there, even if you guys can't 'fix' my problems, but at least having a space to write things down, reflect and be listened to.
I have started using he/him pronouns - I wish I could share my name here too but of course I won't, but just know it's super cute and fits me perfectly 🙂 A friend of mine thought of it for me, which makes it really special. It also makes me feel connected to my roots (for my birth name my parents just chose a random generic name with no cultural significance, whereas my new name comes from our heritage culture). I love it
