Name change
July 14th, 2010 9:11 pm MDT
So I've decided to go by Jackie from now on. I made this change because lately I've been veering away from crossdressing and more towards adopting a style that reflects my actual personality; one that is very androgynous.
When I was in college, getting all girlied up was a lot of fun. Plus I was still fleshing out my identity, and crossdressing gave me the opportunity to try out being as feminine as I could be. But now, as I approach the big 3-0, I realize it's time for a make-over.
I discovered a year or so ago that I would have been named Jacquelyn had I been born a girl. Not only do I think this is a beautiful name, it has the advantage of being gender neutral when shortened. I would have made the change sooner, but I was worried about loosing a part of me. I felt like Katelyn was a sister that I was thinking about divorcing from the family. In the end, I just have to have faith that my friends will take the change in stride.
