I'm filling out the paperwork for my name change. I had been planning on changing my first name to Rosalie but going by Rose day-to-day, which I've been doing for a while. Is it pretentious to change my legal name to something and go by a shortened form? Should I just change it to Rose and be done with it? #trans #transnames

@rose Nah. I legally changed my name to a long form, and day-by-day go by a shortening of my name. When I hear my full first name, I immediately know that stuff is serious.
