Last night I went with a friend of mine to his transgender support group. Neither of us had ever been before. Those present ranged in age from mid-twenties to upwards of fifty. Here are the names I can remember:

Charlene
Danielle
Michelle
Kim
Cameron
Ruin (m)
Darcy
P.J. (m)

I'm not sure how many of those names were original choices, or variations of old names. Charlie --> Charlene. Daniel --> Danielle. You get the idea.

If you were to change your gender, which name would you choose for yourself?
