When I hear things like the “I identified as a dinosaur..” I get upset because the person has such a lack of empathy.

I struggle so much with what she missed out in the here and now. How she didn’t get to finish her transition.

You are going to see that I will use Michaela's name throughout these stories no matter when it happened. Here is why: Michaela was a woman.

I made some simple little bracelets after Michaela chose her new name.

It is one thing to slip up and correct yourself. We all have brain farts. :) It is different when you purposely don’t use someone’s pronouns. This is what you are saying to that person.

You know those puzzles apps where when you have the right piece it snaps in place automatically and when you don’t it won’t fit. That is how it was for Michaela.

Michaela and Michael are the same person on this website. Preferred name and pronouns are Michaela and she/her though.
