Autonym/Exonym (Her Name is Not Mine)’ is an exploration of the relationship between the present and past selves, and how my trans identity complicates this connection. In some way, my past self no longer exists, but she is still something I have carried around with me until recently. She is my deadname, but I do not mourn her. If it were not for her, I would not exist. We are separate but interconnected people – the man who carved his own identity, and the child he used to be. The Autonym, and the Exonym.
