Some reflections after one month. Noticing more and more signs that I'm starting to identify more as my new name. It's feeling less weird, for one. I'm starting to think about myself and my place in the world in terms of July. Meanwhile hearing my old name is becoming more jarring and dysphoric.

Going to start experimenting with the name July.

I dreamed a while back I corrected someone to use my new name lol. I do miss the diminutive ending of my old name but one reason I chose July is that it could be pronounced Julie. One of my biggest Qs rn is what to do when publishing, not that I need to have an answer yet. Transitioning is weird.
