    That could be or you just aren't accustomed to thinking of yourself on different terms.

    That is SUPER common at first! You're so used to saying one thing for yourself, you just need to kind of get used to addressing yourself differently is all :slight_smile:

    Relax, don't worry about it - it happens to loads of us. I'm more than two years in from my own gender revelation and today I sent an email with my old name on it!
