Got referred to my feminine name for the first time and wow So I'm about to go to therapy for the first time and I'm excited about it. I'm still 100% pre-everything and in the closet. I set up a profile for therapy (she specializes in gender identity stuff) and it asked my preferred name and pronoun. I said I wasn't sure because I kind of feel like a phony if I asked to go by she/her while I'm sitting there in a polo or something. Well I thought about it some more and texted the therapist that I'd prefer she/her and Samantha because fuck it why not. It couldn't hurt. And holy cow when she called me Samantha it was like a bolt of euphoria lol

It was strangely validating and I've looked at that text a few times now. I know this is rambling but I have no one I my life to share this stuff with lol
