Dear friends, acquaintances and people that know me too little, I wish you a merry Christmas.
It's supposed to be the time when we let kindness guide us and speak our hearts, open up, show we care and other emotional things like that, because it's Christmas and it's ok to be emotional during the holidays.
Some of you already know, some maybe suspect that, some/most don't know and don't care about this, but I have to say it, because sometimes enough is enough and one can't and shouldn't hold things inside for THAT long. Eventually, these things evolve and there's always a time when things ought to be explained. So this is me explaining.
It's been too long since I stopped identifying as female. I may haven't told anyone at first, but it is how it is. Regardless of whether you understand this or not, please, show me the courtesy of calling me by my *chosen* name, that's Harry or Victor (mostly Harry), and using male pronouns.
Using my birth name and female pronouns, when you already know this, is considered rude and a bit hurtful. Also, calling me a "tranny" or a "he/she" would result in permanent block/delete and possibly some rudeness from my side.
If you can't, please, don't call me anything. It's much better and hurts less. But, remember always, I am still the same person that you know, with the same personality, regardless of name and gender. You don't have to show your extreme support or opposition towards that. You won't change who I am. Also, I know it's awkward sometimes. You don't have to discuss this with me. Maybe the matter will come up during casual conversation or not.

Thank you very much, I hope you all have a great time during the holidays.
