For a while when I was a kid I wondered what my name would be if I chose it myself and that was the only one that felt like it fit. Totally forgot about it until after my egg shattered and realized that it's gender-neutral and I really like the cutesy nickname/diminutive forms

Yay, so even after years on hrt when I'll clearly be at a physical disadvantage I still won't get legal protections (which were designed for exactly this) until I maybe eventually get a doctor to confirm what I already know? Great, lovely, thanks. Looks like I'm gonna have to start hoarding estrogen I guess cause I'm certain this is just the start. Really makes the swastika sticker I passed by on a walk yesterday that much more scary knowing there are people near me who would absolutely hurt me if they could, and now they've basically been given the go-ahead.
I basically force the sneeze through my front teeth and it kinda works most of the time. Taught myself how when I noticed a girl I sat next to in school sneezed almost silently and I thought it was super cute. Now, coughing and throat-clearing on the other hand... Sounds like I've lived my whole life in a coal mine...
I'm mostly worried about my grandmother - it's been at least 6 years and she still treats my cousin's bf like a girl despite having it explained to her multiple times that he's a man. She's definitely a product of her generation, but it's the refusal to listen and even try to learn that gets to me. Other than that everyone's been cool with it, though my parents are still slipping up constantly. As for everything else it's going surprisingly well so far; I've already started noticing some stuff that should usually take a couple months to kick in
How am I all of them?!
