is it now just my birth name i no longer go by

i say detransitioned but in reality i’m still not my assigned gender at birth. but im not trans either. i’m not cis or trans or nonbinary or anything. the only thing i am is Me and expressing myself the best for Me is in a more feminine way

I mean yeah? It doesn’t matter what your gender or name is Your name that you go by doesn’t match your birth name Simple as that Sure the term deadname is more commonly used for trans people but anyone who changes their name could theoretically use the term

OP 8w

why the downvotes tho this is all a genuine question and my experience is valid. i transitioned for a while and was on testosterone for 3 years. sue me for realizing who i truly am jeez
