About that... y'know I am thinking about the legal surname change.


I haven't decided whether I want Michelina as a life name or as just a stage name yet. 👍 -


It was a hassle the first time, plus if I do another name change I want to change the gender marker as well.


I'm not particularly attached to Riddell, is what I'm typing.

But I can see how the idea of making up a name is probably something that someone adopted would understand.


Meesh helped a lot with the name choice, though Michelina was pretty much my idea.


Either way, the name proves my point: Amanda means deserving of love, and that's what I feel people who deadname me are missing - the part of me that's lovely. ⚧️✌️ -


And yeah, I can't predict the future: it just seems that way. It's like a horoscope: most of the predictions turn out to be bullshit, but people remember the correct parts.


That's called confirmation bias.
