How do transgender people go about choosing a new name? In this episode we answer a listener question from Maddie. She asks “How did you ultimately decide on your female name? Did you create a list of names? Was it a painfully obvious choice that you’d known for years? Did you choose something that still had a connection to your male name? Or did you just try on different names until one finally stuck and felt right?”
