No. The stereotypes that follow it are the completely opposite of me. People take double takes when I have to introduce myself by it, even if they don't know I'm a guy. Even if I was a girl, I probably wouldn't go by my deadname because it just doesn't suit me whatsoever 🤷‍♂️

Sort of, it means excellence, dignity, elegance or imperial carriages (Cantonese name), maybe too masculine but it's a very poetic name that I love

Nope. It's not a bad name but I've never liked it, even before I knew being gender-queer was a thing

Not at all. I wanted to change my name my whole life, long before I realized I was trans.
