This one made me so happy I could almost cry.

I've been stuck having to be in the female category/using my real name for races because many require ID to pick up the race bib. A friend of mine is a race director, and he's letting me enter his half marathon in the male category using my trans chosen name. The only stipulation was I have to sign the waivers with my real name and wear ID with my real info just in case. But for once... I will be in the MALE results, with my male name, and the announcer at the finish will call out my male name when I cross the finish line. I cannot wait to experience this... to finally have two such important parts of my life connected.
