Remember that it is your own personal hang up, that does not allow you to call me Michael. How do you think it feels to be called only M or no name at all? I know because I’ve been on your side too. I am usually quite hesitant to call a trans man, that’s a FTM person, by their male name, because I know that so many of them objectify women because they have hated being in a female body for so long. But those who know me best, know that I am not one of those persons. I am not even transgendered necessarily as I’ve said many times before; I am gender non-conforming. It is my hope you can divorce yourselves from religiosity, or the ideas that you’ve known me so long so how can you see me any differently, and pay attention to my eyes, my hair, my arms, body, my clothing, and come to see ME. The person you knew 10 or 12 years ago was wearing a MASK. So, knowing me prior to me being myself fully is no excuse for not calling me the name I identify with.
