I cannot avoid writing about my name change because it’s a large part of my current offline life to experience it as actually a very real change. I just was reading something that I wrote before the name change and it felt completely different reading it now than what it felt like writing it then. It was no longer about a person separate from me. It was my core self, not to be treated with bullying words. It was unexpected and a very deep feeling of painful connection, an intense authentic emotional experience.
