Name

Someone wrote…

I am more attached to the internet than I am to real life because on the internet— everyone calls me my preferred name and they know no different.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

    Yes! I was wondering recently if I would feel more like I wanted to transition if I couldn’t spend so much time being assumed to male/neutral, which I get from being online most of the day.

    Whereas on a bad day in real life I feel that impressions largely come down to things like haircuts and clothes (for both mainstream and queer people) and I don’t conform to either side’s standards, online I can just be my natural abstract self.
