even though its not even the name i prefer to go by and could be called my deadname every time i see my legal name written or said somewhere i go HUH? THATS ME. my name is common but that doesnt stop me
#like i hate telling people it but it still feels like *my* name yknow#strengthened by years of nobody being able to spell it. or immediately mispronouncing it upon seeing the spelling#(even tho they pronounced it right previously)#all through highschool my name was spelled wrong in their system#i tried pestering them for 3 years and again in y12 to fix it#but all i managed to get was the correct spelling in brackets next to it#once in y10 i had a teacher tell me she thought i had a PREFERRED SPELLING of my name.#yes. its the spelling on my birth certificate.#literally it was easier for my trans friends to get their trans names as their actual names in the school#im just glad it was right when i got my certificate at the end. otherwise i wouldve had a real problem#this got away from me. whatever. aaaaaand post teehee
