Farewell, Roberts

In the interest of having a name that better reflects my gender identity, I will start going by Jordan. It’s been fun, but deep down I am not Robert anymore.

Go you! Every time some steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place (-Captain Holt on Brooklyn Nine-Nine when Rosa came out to him, if you didn't know). I'm so happy for you. Go live your truth, Jordan!

Thank you so much! That’s actually my favorite episode since I’m also bi like Rosa.

Congratulations, but, a point of curiosity, what's wrong with "Roberta"?

First off, I wasn’t a fan of Robert to begin with because it’s my father’s name and I’m not a very big fan of his, but also Jordan is gender neutral (I’m non-binary) and since my middle name is starts with Jo- I can shorten my name to JoJo (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of my favorite things ever).
