I only realized this evening that one of the implications of applying for jobs as Cosmo and planning to stick to one set of pronouns for simplicity's sake and figuring he/him is best is that it means I have to figure out how boys dress for job interviews because all the clothes I'm used to wearing to that are really girly.

I've got a plan now, I don't need advice. I just thought it was funny that I've given myself so many things to think about for this job interview that are not directly related to the interview.

The interview isn't for anything trans-specific or even LGBT, so I'm taking it as a good sign that all the emails I've had about it are addressed to Cosmo. That's the name I'm signing mine with and the one I said I'm using on the application (I included both it and Holly but said I'm going by Cosmo. But my emails still say they're coming from Holly Lastname, because I can't change that without outing myself to my parents. And considering how many times I've gotten emails addressed to Hollie when they said Holly everywhere, this seems like a big fucking deal that they're calling me by a completely different name just because I say so, and I'm taking it as a good sign.
