After coming out as Non-binary, I decided to change my name to something that felt more representative of me.
Turner Riley is my new name.
Being in the trans/GNC/non-binary family, there is an, albeit unfair, expectation to have everything about ourselves figured out. This is never fully true for any individual, trans or not. I ask that you be respectful of my name, but also of my privacy.
At the same time, please be aware that this might not be the only change I go through. What feels right today might not feel right in the future. I am giving myself the space to follow what makes me feel happy and validated, and all I ask is you do the same. ❤️
