Positive Post - 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!!!


Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.

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

Good news





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Congratulations Camden!


I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!


Who else is fine?!?!?

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.

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


Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.

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.

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
