Posting again to get out a small dilemma I've been having internally.
There's a name that I want to make my chosen name, but it wouldn't fit into my culture traditionally. I've been ruminating on it for a bit, but the other thing is that I don't think I really care much about my ethnic culture. I'm also not even sure I want to fully come out to my parents/family if I can avoid it. But choosing a name that's a bit more anglo when I'm hispanic feels kinda weird in a way? Idk.
Any other trans bipoc go through something similar? I'd love to hear about y'all's thoughts on this.
edit: huh after posting this I realized my girlfriend's sisters both have more anglo names despite also being hispanic. maybe I'm worrying about this too much
