Sort of big news but I realized that the reason I was using the name Tanner was because I felt such a disconnect to the person my birth name was perceived to be by the people around me, and I don’t feel that disconnect anymore, nor do I feel right using Tanner. I’m returning to exclusively using my birthname but since it is uncommon for internet safety I do not feel comfortable sharing it. I’m glad for all of you who, by interacting, made me as Tanner feel comfortable in the ways my birthname was not, even if you don’t think you did anything, just your presence and using the name Tanner helped me immensely. Thank you and I love you all so much, Your Friend
