My name change

Hello all:

I have been struggling with my name for quite some time. On Tuesday my Counselor and I were talking and she said that perhaps since I was born as Gwinn, then perhaps Gwen just is not a clean break from my past. We had talked about my using Khadija before but I never made a decision; it being easier to vacilate. She suggested that perhaps I should just get on with it and use Khadija as my name from here on out.

For me, Khadija has really very little to do with Islam, since they and I are not on the best of terms. It is the usual crap that T folk go through with almost any religion. And, please don't ask me why I am religious at all, because quite simply, I wonder myself. I still need to work that out, but I am doing all that in a very contemplative manner.

So, to make it official, from here on out my name is Khadija. I'll not ask Erin to change my accounts; that being too much bother.

Thank you all.

Khadija Brown
