Pride month 2024! Howās everybody feeling?
I had my two year transiverssary last month, which was exciting. Itās kind of weird honestly. Last year I felt like āWow, I canāt believe itās already been a year.ā where as now itās āWait, itās only been two years? I feel like itās been longer.ā
Iāve been living so out and so openly as who I really am, itās hard to believe this isnāt how Iāve been my whole life.

An interesting thought about my name recently
So, some necessary context. My dead name is Maxwell, but people really only ever called me Max. Maxwell was mainly just used for formal stuff, school, work, etc. And when I thought about changing my name, I didnāt really want to change that. Or more specifically I didnāt want to change Max. Thatās the name Iāve been called all my life. The idea of being called something completely different just felt unnatural.
So the choice in name was obvious. From Maxwell to Maxine. Itās a nice sounding name, and Max can stay my default casual name while Maxine is used as a formal name, the way Maxwell was. For a long while after I came out, Max still felt perfectly fine.
But lately it justā¦ doesnāt? Max just doesnāt fit as well anymore. The more and more Iāve heard people call me Maxine, the more awkward my old natural name has felt. Maxine feels right. If feels honest. Max just feels good enough. Like putting a peg in a hole that technically fits, it gets the job done, but it just isnāt as comfortable as it could be, or as it used to be.
Oh no! Iām sorry for not nothing the edit sooner, and Iām really sorry to hear your family refuses to be supportive. Itās a terrible thing to not get basic support from the people who are supposed to always be there for you. I hope that you at least have a group of friends or loved ones who give you the support that you deserve.
