Trans Talk on Yik Yak | ok, maybe this is just a me thing, but does anyone else feel strange about changing their birth certificate? like legally it's useful but my transition now does not change my name given at birth. like I was not born with the name I have now. this just me?

I changed my birth certificate to get my passport; I never got one before my legal name change. I appreciate the name my mom gave me, but seeing my real one alongside when I was born makes me really happy
