I keep saying my deadname in my head, this kinda started a bit after a family gathering where I heard my deadname a ton. This was in may and sometimes I will just say my deadname in my head and it feels wrong, it also kinda makes my real name feel a little wrong, even though I know it’s not and I like the name skylar
Yeah. It used to be a lot. Then sometimes. Then not often. And then never…
It just takes time to change those mental muscle memories
The thing is I’ve been using my name for several years personally and for 3 years publicly
I signed an email with my birth name 3 years after I legally changed it :)
You’ll get there
