+## Or: Identity is Complicated
+
+You might have noticed that I have changed my listed name on this website to Xe.
+I should probably have done this a while ago. I have been starting to go by Xe
+in a more professional way and I am continuing this experiment with this blog.
+"Christine" has always been a bit of a placeholder name (albeit one that
+"stuck") that I have used as a legal name because a bunch of things and legal
+processes expect me to have one. Something something [Falsehoods Programmers
+Believe About
+Names](https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/)
+something something.
+
+As for how this is pronounced, here are some attempts to explain how to
+pronounce it in text:
+
+- The way that Americans say the 26th letter of the English (2021) Alphabet "z"
+- zee (a spelling that should force you to say it correctly using modern english
+  orthography)
+- /zi/ in the [International Phonetic
+  Alphabet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet)
+  
+I don't expect you to migrate over to calling me this immediately. If anything I
+have a weak preference for this name. If you are used to calling me "Christine"
+or something else, please feel free to do so.
+
+Incidentally, this also means I have a mythical level of [neopronoun/handle
+synergy](http://pronoun.is/xe/xer/xer/xers/xerself) that few others can match. I
+also don't expect you to use these neopronouns for me (though it would be cool
+if you did).
+
+Let's see where this experiment goes.
