(the really sucky part now is, I now have three names for myself, the only place I'm currently going by Hailey is here... and I never finished rolling out Hal, so it's kinda breaking my brain that now I want to kinda clean all that up. Domain names, usernames, display names... school is the only IRL place I managed to go by Hal, everyone else knows me by my birthname... I'm holding back on tangenting on the logistics of social name changing & of course coming out.....)

I had actually agonized over a new male name before, and eventually I settled on Hal... and it didn't take long before the idea of a Hailey appeared... I couldn't shake the name so it ended up sticking to an idea of an idealized partner. So when I found out I'm trans, it was only natural to pick Hailey.

Now, there are multiple equally valid (and a few invalid) ways to spell it so that was just kinda vibes

yeah.... I can't really get outside of my house so um having that as an option would be great... (I'm not yet brave enough to look up what it's like to do that in my state)

I think part of it is that people just moved right back to the red site, just as they were counting on us doing. I never did, and now I feel kinda left in the dust for it, since that's where these wonderful communities are.

I'm glad there's at least something here for me. I just wish I were creative or funny enough to contribute :(

this is a privately-owned space on the internet, not a hall of Congress. "Freedom of speech" literally does not exist here.

There are also some "opinions" which simply should not be tolerated; see the Paradox of Tolerance.

god I'm gonna be stuck living here for another few years, at least... cause I need to finish (community) college before I can get a "good paying job" that might, possibly, pay enough to survive off of...

At least in the US, it also includes name (to identify you with; seems obvious) and sex (???). I think it also includes home address, also for identity, but I haven't actually seen a birth certificate in years so I don't remember

it's been like, a week since the egg cracked, and i'm already trying to do voice stuff... I can at least excuse it as learning a new voice trick because I've long liked to do cool, new stuff with my voice...
