Curate, connect, and discover
my stereotypical trans name was elliot with the nickname as eli when i first came out back in 2020/2021
(i detransitioned due to transphobia but again, story for another day)
and it stuck with me
it isnt the name i use today but i use it in other ways
like the email i made when i came out includes it
i dont like it for me anymore but it was the name that helped me discover who i truly am
so
i dont mind the name elliot / eli
if i planned on changing my middle name,
id probably make it that
what i’ll probably do is tell people that my middle name is eli but not change it
my middle name means too much to my family, especially my mother that i cant imagine changing it
(but thats a story for another day)
