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!

    This might be the wrong way to approach things but after I introduce myself with my pronouns to people I don’t press them to use them.

    All of my friends politely corrects each other and any other person who doesn’t care won’t bother.

    I personally find this system I made useful as:

    • I can keep track of people that I can freely reciprocate trust and respect.
    • I know who to ignore and avoid. If they won’t do something small as respect me with the simple usage of pronouns then they don’t deserve any of my time.
