trans thing 

realtalk I never felt attached to my birth name and whenever I heard it I always had a kind of disconnect before realizing that it was in reference to me. But whenever I hear/see someone say Lo I'm just like "!!!!! That's me!!!! :D"

@fluxom_alt There has been a pretty solid firewall between my license name, and my true name. It helps me code switch pretty rapidly, since I know only birth family and work-tribe people call me one name, and chosen people call me my real name. Hearing non-chosen people call me real name is still a trip.
