TL;DR -- please refer to me as a boy/man, as masculine, using the pronouns he/him, as male. Thank you.
Alright, so.
Y'all may have noticed that I changed my name recently for the first time in basically ever. That is because I no longer find that I identify with the name "CuccoLady," most specifically the latter half. I'm trying to forge a new identity that feels more comfortable to me.
I've had off-and-on Gender Doubts for a couple years now, but never to the extent that I wanted to go through the process of vocalizing them and trying to change how people perceive me. Recently though, with more and more of my friends coming out as transgender and expressing feelings of relief and happiness and comfort in doing so, I've decided to try "coming out" to a couple people and communities at a time to see how it feels. The few people I've talked to so far have made it a very positive experience for me and I'm finding that being referred to as masculine and perceiving myself as masculine feels deeply satisfying. However, I'm still not certain enough to announce this to most folks I know IRL yet.
Since VGF is a place I've visited for almost half of my life at this point, and it's a lot easier to present as male online than IRL, I wanted to try it on for size here first. There's a possibility I might end up realizing that this isn't really me, I don't know, but I won't ever be sure if I feel more comfortable living as a man if I don't start somewhere. And that somewhere is here. So unless and until I mention otherwise, please recognize me and refer to me as male.
Thank you all for being a great happy part of my life. <3
((for those of you who know or interact with me in other circles where I haven't vocalized these thoughts, if you have concerns about how to address me elsewhere please go ahead and PM me!!))
