yeah as someone who never felt she was a girl, just wanted to be one* it’s maybe trickier for me — I asked my family/friends to use my current name and pronouns when referring to past events to reduce current slipups, but I internally think of that former gender presentation as “him, that guy, man” with a great deal of fondness, and using “Caroline/she” to refer to that former self feels like a weird kind of misgendering that makes me vaguely uncomfortable!
