5. Diary concludes with Hale using her birth name

While the diary features multiple instances of Hale referring to herself as “Aiden,” a boy’s name that reflects her self-declared gender identity and is based on the contention that she was born in the wrong body, the diary concludes with a message reading, “Remember me for the good things.” She signed the last sentence in her diary using her given name “Audrey,” accompanied by a heart.

Earlier in the diary, Hale wrote a love letter to someone else, reading, “Audrey is not my name but when you say it, I am just the little 1 I was back then.” The letter also insisted that “I can be a kid again with you, alongside you, even if I can’t be w/ you” and concluded with Hale signing her name “Aiden” with “Audrey” in parentheses.
