    Even though I disable location and google assistant/chrome, I don't think it's terribly bad to have google know where you are at all times. They're just monitoring you for advertising. I find it creepy, honestly, but others just don't care and might find that it's more good than bad.

    Jesus, that guy has the charisma and eloquence of a wooden board. I seriously thought he was going to start arguing a case for inflation being a good thing. And then it got worse.

    Hey thanks for that. I still think it would be weird but you're right. No one else will need to know my full legal name. One day I will. I have to eventually, because I cannot stand having to use my birth name. Thanks. Sucks about your name though. Kat is a cute name :)

    So I am also trans and I've changed my name socially. Before that, I went by my middle name with family and my first name with everyone else.

    While legally changing my name is something I should do, I am still hesitant to do it. Not because financial reasons, though that is a bit of the reason, but because I feel like the I'll come to regret it. The name I chose is short and regularly, it often comes from a shortened version of a longer name (like the name Sam for Samantha or Samuel). If I were to legally change it, I feel like I'd need to use one of the longer versions, or it'd be weird. But the longer versions are so long, and I decided to keep my middle name which is equally long. And I'm not accustomed to calling myself anything but the short version of the name. Plus, I still have trouble accepting myself. I don't know if I could take changing my name while not being 100% sure about who I am.

    One day though, I hope I'll be able to do it.
