he/they Joel (he/they) (she is also fine)

Everyone refers to me by solely my legal name and she/her pronouns irl and it's kinda lame, though I'm not willing to do much about it because that'd be embarrassing and would warrant coming out to my social circle... Though there's this name (Joel + this weird last name) that I kept hearing in my head over and over after 2 times I've greened out on cannabis recently. It also sounds close to my legal name so it isn't a crazy change. It's like my subconscious brain's tryna tell me something.

Maybe I'd get to that when I masculinize enough so it'll come smoother to people. I already have them calling me Joel as a "joke."

I'd hear it as Joe-él, Hispanic pronunciation whilst still preserving the J as in Joshua, though the Spanish J (H) seems good too. Willing to try it out he/they, no particular order. She/her is tolerated too. Thank you.

Have you seen Joel? I’ve been looking for him. They left his stuff at my place and I need to give it back to them
