On the one hand I somewhat hate my old name and getting referred to as male, but on the other hand I would actually have to correct others to use my preferred name/pronouns.

Edit: Its not that im uncomfortable with she/her or that I have to fear of people having a negative reaction over it, but instead that I simply do not like to correct people so I do not “fulfill” the st ereotype of “the annoying trans person that constantly annoys you about pronouns”. Is it completely irrational to think like that (especially since all of the people I interact with are very accepting)? Yes! Do I still feel that way? Also yes!

    I have a friend who understands this incredibly well. Whenever I’m out with them, they’ll intentionally use my pronouns in conversation with people. They won’t be like, “mossy’s pronouns are…”, they’ll just casually slip a few "she"s and "her"s in while making obvious they’re referring to me.
