On the one hand I somewhat hate my old name and getting referred to as male, but on the other hand I would actually have to correct others to use my preferred name/pronouns.

Edit: Its not that im uncomfortable with she/her or that I have to fear of people having a negative reaction over it, but instead that I simply do not like to correct people so I do not "fulfill" the st ereotype of "the annoying trans person that constantly annoys you about pronouns". Is it completely irrational to think like that (especially since all of the people I interact with are very accepting)? Yes! Do I still feel that way? Also yes!

I have tried telling people my pronouns, but the town I live in is stuck in the 90s where trans jokes are still "funny" and enby's are just confused. Only the small queer group I've joined has used my preference. I'm afraid to even try now with cheeto dust settling into every nook and cranny across the states.
