Oh Hon! Congrats! It's always baby steps but this one is a BIG OLE BABY LEAP! I'm so happy for you, it wasn't that long ago when I had my own big day out and my heart flutters just thinking about it.
Good for you!
it felt good after a while.
yay!
π that's great! show thrm all!
Congratulations! You might consider giving your initials when asked for your name, as they're close enough to get your attention and ungendered. Unless they are problematic.
it only gets easier from here π
also, just a soft suggestion: I know trans girls IRL who change their name all the time, trying out a new name from time to time to see what fits them. You don't have to have the perfect name yet to not use your deadname, anything will do in the meantime, and you can always say you're trying out a name to see how it feels. Especially in LGBT+ friendly spaces that can be well understood and accepted.
congrats on making such a huge step! π₯³
This is such a good suggestion! Sometimes a name might resonate with you on paper, but then speaking it or having someone hear it can be a different experience. I absolutely adore the name I chose; however, I never gave much thought about how certain phonetics can get tangled up when a name is a bit more unique π€ So many letters make similar sounds. D's sound like B's sound like P's sound like V's...
I will so be passing that idea on to others in my community π©·
i love that so much <3

Good for you!! βΊοΈ
In a time when so much of the outside world makes me feel sick inside, this made my heart swell with joy for you. Thank you for sharing and I am so glad you had a good experience!
Way to go!!
hell yeah!! its awesome that you are able to have such a good community around you with regards to this stuff. being able to be yourself without having to worry about repercussions is one of the best things in earlier (and later) transition!
may the shenanigans be bountiful in fulfillment :)
