death before detransition

I'm a member of a relatively well known queer VR group. I think when I initially found them I was still identifying as asexual so it doesn't really count... but anyway, the main reason I had started visiting that group was because I figured it would be one of the least right-wing spaces I could join... that group, as it turns out, also has some of the best moderators on the whole platform, and the worlds they run are well kept, trolls caught early, etc etc.

And well, as it turns out I'm trans now, so um...

In my state they "just" decided to train the regular 988 operators to better respond to LGBTQ+ people in need

oh god oh fuck

edit: no disrespect to my mother, just, let me be my own girl god damn it 😭

it's been so long since I've heard skirt go spinny

trans or not I'm gonna die poor 😎

(the really sucky part now is, I now have three names for myself, the only place I'm currently going by Hailey is here... and I never finished rolling out Hal, so it's kinda breaking my brain that now I want to kinda clean all that up. Domain names, usernames, display names... school is the only IRL place I managed to go by Hal, everyone else knows me by my birthname... I'm holding back on tangenting on the logistics of social name changing & of course coming out.....)

I had actually agonized over a new male name before, and eventually I settled on Hal... and it didn't take long before the idea of a Hailey appeared... I couldn't shake the name so it ended up sticking to an idea of an idealized partner. So when I found out I'm trans, it was only natural to pick Hailey.

Now, there are multiple equally valid (and a few invalid) ways to spell it so that was just kinda vibes
