Getting used to a new name to the point that you instinctively respond without hearing it is tough, and frankly, I'm not sure is possible. And...
Take your time. I didn't have a pronoun preference until I did. I took all the pronouns people threw at me, using it as an opportunity to check in...
Above all, take your time. Its surprising the answers we give ourselves once we take the time to listen. Also, if you see a therapist for other...
I think I'm nearing a more nuanced understanding of my gender identity, but I want to check with y'all first. The tl;dr version is that I'm...
And a hug from me, too. You have unanswered questions, that's all. And it sounds like you are in the right place to find the answers. With time...
