picking a name 

... I'm realizing that people are going to need to address me in person and that "Husker" or "Prosp" would probably work, but also don't feel like me? Probably because I'm out to absolutely zero people where I live. But in about two weeks people are going to have to call me by name, and I don't have one just yet.

I'm tentatively leaning towards "Morgan". I like that it's ambiguous. Really though, it's more about reintroducing myself to people who I've met online who have effectively known me all my life as a cis dude and wondering if they'll even abide by it.

@HuskerFu I'm in a similar spot but my mom already gave me an ambiguous one syllable name and special gender class, so it's more about figuring out how to present as That.

I dunno, to me being androgynous and male presenting is more than Valid. =P
Morgan sounds good.
