What is True Self?
'True Self' is a unique Chrome extension that facilitates transgender users, or anyone wishing to try a new name, by replacing their given name with their chosen name on any website visited. This keeps their chosen identity consistent across the web, enhancing their digital experience and creating a more accepting and personalized internet environment, unless the user chooses to turn off the function. In addition, settings are saved across browsing sessions for a seamless user experience.

Summary

If a person who is transgender hasn't changed their name legally, they see their given name everywhere they go. True Self allows you to substitute your given name with your chosen name on any web page you visit. Or you can test out a new name! Just type your old name in the 'Given Name' field and your new name in the 'True Self' field. Then click apply to refresh. To erase the settings, just turn the slider off. Unless turned off, settings will save across browsing sessions.

Welcome home! You are your True Self!
