I'm a transgender girl and I'm using "atashi."

I'd probably be a simple watashi user when addressing myself. I like how boku sounds, but I don't want to seem like I'm trying to make myself sound cute.

For honorifics, I always liked how -kun sounds. Yes, that honorific is masculine, but I always saw myself to be addressed that way. Nothing to do with gender identity or anything, I just like it, and feel like it suits me. Unfortunately, it's generally considered weird and unacceptable to use that pronoun for an adult, and -chan doesn't have a stigma like that. I'll be real, I was never a fan of the -chan honorific, I only think it sounds good referring to animals or mascot characters.

I speak Japanese sometimes because I just like foreign languages.

I'm not Japanese, but if I were I'd probably just go with "watashi" because I'm not a guy and I'd probably not be a Bokukko either.

And in terms of honorifics I'd use "-sama" to refer to myself. Or "-kun" if I don't want to sound too self-absorbed.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

I just use watashi on the rare occasions I speak any Japanese anymore.
