I'm Trying a Thing Out
I've changed my pronouns in my about section on all the social media sites and all the Discord servers.
I changed my PFP to a dude who looks about as close to my old PFP as I could get.
Not sure if I'm gonna stick with this, but for now this feels really comfy and I'm surprised by how all that irritation about ticking the boxes she/her is just GONE. Other things feel more settled in the last few days too.
I really like my RL name and my URL, but it's obviously feminine.
I've gone by Laen and male pronouns in gaming spaces ever since I was a kid (that's how I came up with the fandom name Mayalean) just because I've always felt more comfortable playing as male. I'm not sure if I wanna change my name yet, but it would probably be Laen if I did.
So yeah I'm gonna try he/him out for a while 🙂
(if all the kids I grew up with heard about this they wouldn't be surprised - whenever we played I was always the guy/husband and I could never figure out why the other girls were so happy about me taking that role because what little girl wouldn't want to play a guy?! 😂 My mom has tons of pics of me playing the guy as young as 3 years old)
