I’m curious to understand how French presents as a diminutive in my brain, e.g. preference to be called “Theo” in the public and professional arena but then preferring to be called “Théo” with friends, etc. Somewhat obvious answers arise, but then the idiosyncratic takes the wheel.

Thinking about getting a tiny, out-of-sight tattoo in 2023. Not into getting inked in any major way, but I think it’d be cool to make my own birthmarks.

Canceled an order on the phone with my new name. Customer service rep told me she loves it with zero prompting.

From a work email I was cc-ed on today:

“…this is something that you and Theo Ceridwen (one of our curriculum experts) would work together on…”

According to trying on men’s pants—in a store [sighs]—I am truly a short woman-king. #enby #shethey

Work life knows about my upcoming name change. Well-received!
I haven’t felt this relieved since I got myself to CDG airport on-time for my return flight after 3 wks overseas (first time). Like, hey, the thing you didn’t think you could do? You did it! You get to go home now! 🎉 #newname #shethey #theoceridwen #genderfluid
