Choosing a New Name

Choosing a New Name

Elle discusses the process of choosing a new name as a part of her transition. Included in this are reflections on deadnames, strategies for choosing names, and ritualizing the new name. Though it is very important, she didn't discuss the process of going about legal-name-changing as it is highly variable from state to state. Resources discussed and referenced in this episode:

-Elle's Rite of Transition Ceremony which included a formal renaming blessing. https://estherloewen.com/writing-blog/2022/3/6/rite-of-transition-a-ritual-of-rebirth

-Samantha Allen's book M to W TF on Audible

-Mimi LeMay in "What we Will Become" - book by a mother about her transgender child.
