September Hofmann | Change My Name | Line Rider @Ava_Hofmann | Uploaded 5 months ago | Updated 1 hour ago
In the summer of 2023, I finally legally changed my name. But my “real” name change had already occurred six years prior, on a summer day long ago. But the law cannot know the truth of ourselves unless we insist upon it.
Dedicated to the trans and nonbinary members of the line rider community. All of them. Yes, even you.

special thanks to malizma, whose word on the command editor, amongst other mods, majorly sped up my ability to release this track.
special thanks to jade, who encouraged me to finish this track after two separate multi-month breaks.
special thanks to jamie, whose long talks about transness and medical gatekeeping in Europe influenced several parts of this track. seeing you start to move out on your own and medically transition was another major motivator for me to finish this track.
special thanks to UTD and punkband for being cool + chill people to hang out with while I made it!!!!!!!
