I'm afab and I'd like to have a new name for my masculine days but I'm not sure how to tell my friends (I'm not out to my family)... I like my birth name, and it shortens to a gender neutral/male name, but I don't like the masculine nick name. It doesn't feel right. How do I tell my friends (especially my gf) that I want a new name for my boy days?

Heyo! So I’d really just suggest telling them what you just told me!
“hey, on days that i feel like a boy, being called ____ makes me uncomfortable. I’d much rather be called ____ for my boy days”
