I don't have a nickname or anything, I only have my birth name which I don't feel that comfortable with. I have never felt my assigned gender at birth (female), and I have looked at non-binary genders in the past. Recently I have been identifying myself as demigender/demiboy, as I feel male and agender but not fully one. I don't know my sexuality yet, but I have found a gender which I am comfortable with. I don't have many friends and I tried to come out to my family but that didn't go as well (they thought I was trying to get gender reassignment surgery and told me I can't make those sorts of decisions yet, which I can't, but I wasn't trying to get gender reassignment surgery). I heard of this place so I decided to try it out. Enough about that though, I need to ask the question I made this post for. What do I name myself? Names that have been quite appealing to me, but haven't been "the one", are: Ash, Dice and Lake. I don't really like my middle name either, so do you guys have any suggestions? PS: I am not looking to get my name legally changed, I just want a nickname that people online can call me that I am comfortable with, or a name my friends can call me.
By the way, I feel euphoria with short hair and masculine clothing. Idk if this is important but I am just adding it. -Unnamed
Hi and Welcome! I’m glad you joined. You’re definitely not alone in trying to figure out your gender and sexuality. I was born female too and I always felt euphoric when I cut my hair short and wore masculine clothes. To a point where I don’t dress any other way now. I found it difficult trying to find a label so I just chose non binary. Have a look through the forum. I’m sure you’ll find others the same who can help/advise you. As for a nickname, the ones you’ve chosen already are cool!
Ash, Dice or Lake!.....Hello and a great big LGBTQ+ welcome to Empty Closets! There is a sub-forum here on EC that is titled “Gender Identity and Expression”. If you post there I think you'll find people who will understand how you feel and will be able to offer support and understanding!
