    Got pulled over by a cop for the first time since transitioning. My ID has my old name / face, so I was terrified. I’m in a rural area with a large MAGA presence.

    He was incredibly kind, apologized for being “disrespectful” when confirming my legal name, and then asked for a preferred name to use. I ended up not getting a ticket, and he called me ma’am when we parted ways.

    The rest of my week was also great, if uneventful.
