Sep. 4th, 2010 03:29 pmSo my Gym? Awesome.
I joined on Thursday, and with it came the Necessary Paperwork of Great Importance. I skipped the name blank at first and wrote in my address. And then in a burst of self-determination, I wrote in Seth in the blank for first name. On the same page were spaces for my DL# (which is still attached to my old name), and credit card info (also old name) for monthly payments. For the card info, I just wrote in [Seth] oldname lastname, and the card number.
The guy entering my info into the computer didn't even question it, welcomed me as Seth.
The other guy, teaching us the belaying course, repeatedly referred to me with male pronouns, and at one point asked if Edwin and I were brothers. It seemed particularly cool because I've entered this weird zone where most people try very hard to avoid using pronouns for me at all. I guess I'm just at that point of androgyny, though I know the scales are tipping in the right direction at this point.
It felt very good to be accepted completely like that.
