Transgender Names: How and why we pick them.
This week on TYC we are going over name selection. Reasons for picking a name are often obvious and logical but in others it is an emotional or social act rather then one of physical change. It is also quite a process to change names officially marking it as a very important touchstone in one's transition. Much like a name changes when you choose to marry, changing your name will affect the way you perceive yourself and the way you are perceived by society.
