Are you me? Because I stopped reading for a while around when Korra started being a thing, and I've been transitioning as well, though for me it was realizing I'm genderfluid and finally acting on that. I'm still going to be Zemyla here, and online in general, though, because that feels like a truer name than either my given male name or my chosen name for when I'm presenting as a woman.

But yeah, aside from that, it feels like an eerily similar trajectory.
