Name change! For real! Oh, and my birthday party. Also for real.

I am changing my legal name to Robin. Hooray!

This will solve the "what should I introduce you as" problem that has been confounding me and thus inconveniencing everyone else for the last couple of years.

I am still using they/them/their pronouns as much as possible. We'll see if settling my name eases my stress about that.

Edited for clarity: Anywhere you're already saying "gement" automatically, that's dandy. Keep doing that.

Nattering about details of that... )

So, that's happening. I will not take offense if you forget, though I will remind you.

Anyone who's done this, if you have a handy online checklist or are willing to talk me through any particularly tricky bits, I welcome your input.

ALSO, I turn 35 Real Soon Now and I am having a birthday party for serious this time having skipped the last four. If you're in town and interested in attending, would you prefer Saturday June 7 or Sunday June 8?
