Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to change genders… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even change the ones he cared about to genders unheard of. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice cis-ed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from gender, but not himself.
if you went by a different name before settling on your current one, then your name would not have been not "Jessica". reducing the double negative, it becomes clear that your deadname must be "Jessica".
holy hell
I said my gender went through changes, not my name. I didn't start going by a different name until I found my current one. My deadname was definitely masc, and my current name Totally isn't Jessica.
I was at a trans 'festival' (rather small but very, very cool) and changing your gender after you had already changed it once or twice or however many times came up. And it was just, presented as the most normal thing in the world. And I really appreciated that. Yes, if you're happy with changing gender once, good for you! Wanna do it again? Hell yeah, good for you! Gender anarchism is great. Just do whatever, y'all. And you too, Darth Vader.

Me being plural and trans. What gender am I now? Does it matter?
I definitely went on this ride over the course of a year+:
Stage 1. I got called ma'am, wow that makes me feel very interesting!
Stage 2. Bleh I definitely am not a dude... Being referred to as a guy is actually yucky!
Stage 3. Let's try they/them on for size.
Stage 4. Hmm, that's better. But I wonder if there's more to this...
Stage 5. https://genderdysphoria.fyi/ Mind. Blown. I am a girl this whole fucking time!!
Stage 6. We're going to ride the She/Her train, let's fucking goooooooooo!!!!!!!
Several trips to the thrift store later, I am the happiest gal this side of Estrogenville.

That was basically my journey as well.

Inplagueis failed to support his sith apprentice when he paranoia-d the most😔.

It wasn't
Totally isn't Jesstopher. Totally is Totally.
Honestly, I’m interested in seeing how far you can take this.

The idea that humans need to stay static in any aspect of their life is whack.
I dare you! I double dog dare you!
You can alter it as much as you want, see if I fucking care.
Did you mean this as "No matter what you say, I will be using the pronouns your parents referred you with when you were born?"
