name change thing of announcement.
 

Hi All,

Sorry to make a thread for this. I'm not necessarily looking for support right now, but I also didn't feel super safe posting this in the general chat forum. (If this is not okay it can be moved, sorry!) I just wanted to let everyone know that I've been able to acquire and start taking hormones, and as such, I am changing my name.

If possible could you all please refer to me as Camden from now on, and use they/them pronouns, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks!!!

:hop: :hop: :hop:

Sure thing Camden. I will try to use they/them when referring to yourself.

Congratulations, Camden! That's awesome.

Good news :-)

Congratulations Camden!

Thanks Dawn, Eska, Lindsay, and Beckie!!! :)

I got my uni ID changed today with a new name and picture. I'm very excited!

Exciting times Camden.

I apologise now for if I ever call you by your old name/use the wrong the pronouns.

That's great Camden. It must be nice getting your new id with your name.

Congrats, Camden! And that's great about your uni ID - that must feel so nice.

Exciting times Camden. Did you get them from a registered prescriber? Just wondering cos you said 'acquired'?

Congratulations Camden, it must be surreal perhaps but nice at the same time to solidify it with your uni ID :)

Thanks so much, everyone!

I told work too! My supervisor changed things on the schedule and in his phone! He was great about it. It's so weird but nice to finally just be ME and not feel like I have to pretend to be someone or a gender I'm not.

Ah, yes, totally legit prescription and everything! Sorry for not being clear.

Congratulations Camden. That's awesome!!

Congratulations! So pleased for you!

How exciting :) congrats, Camden.

Glad to hear it Camden :-). Congrats!

Yay, so pleased for you Camden! I especially love your name because Camden in London is one of my favourite places.

Thanks everyone! It's so weird but nice to hear people using it in person too! But everyone says that I seem so much happier so that even if I do not feel any changes yet, I guess that is good.

I never realised what a big thing names were.

Fab news Camden, I'm glad you're enjoying hearing it used in person too :)

Amazing that you've been able to start hormone therapy. Really pleased for you!

The best is definitely yet to come now you can be yourself openly. X
