I hate my assigned gender. I always have. I considered posting a video for this but in the end it seemed like emotional overkill considering I’m not a very well known person and I already made a video explaining this to the people I know personally. I’ve always hated being seen as male and have always preferred identifying as female. I am currently in the middle of exploring what this means completely; but, for now, I have a much bigger and more exciting writing announcement to post tomorrow and I would like to get this part of me out in the open before I spend the next few months focusing on that.

Other than this, not much will change for now. My pen name will naturally still be J. B. Pichelski, but also my first name will still be Julian, because I’m really attached to it and historically it can be seen as an androgynous name. I’ll still be exactly the same person, just a person who is more connected and honest with herself. Thank you for reading and I hope we can all look forward to my much more important and exciting announcement tomorrow. I know I am.
