Have you ever given yourself a new name?
Or maybe a nickname?
How did you choose it?
Does it have any meaning for you?

That's perfectly fine, you shouldn't have to label yourself as anything you don't want to. One of my dearest friends doesn't care about girl or boy dressing either, she dresses however she pleases.

But I think it's awesome you're a performer!

[Fish takes a while to reply to this message. They're so used to just... not talking about their gender-- either outright ignoring it or forcing themselves to choose one or the other. Though they were just reading it, Fish felt...something squeeze in their heart? They never really gave thought about it... but it was the first time in years they felt acknowledged. And by a total stranger, too.]

I'm glad to know I'm not alone, darling. You are very sweet. I must get to know you! What's your name? You can call me Fish.

[lightthedarkness]

My name is Usagi Tsukino!

You know, since you want a nickname, would you mind my calling you Fi-chan?

[freshtilapia]

A pleasure to meet you! How would you like me to call you, darling? And... well, I can't say no to such a cute nickname such as that. Fish is actually already a nickname of mine-- it was given to me by people I worked with in my early adulthood.

[lightthedarkness]

You can just call me Usagi, if you want! It means rabbit or bunny! That's why everything of mine is just covered in rabbits!

Oh, then, if you don't mind my asking, what's your real name? Or, is Fish the name you prefer to be called?

[freshtilapia]

How adorable! Fitting for a sweetheart such as you!
If you don't mind, I do prefer being called Fish.

[lightthedarkness]

Alright, no problem, Fish or Fi-chan it is!
