You shouldn't be forced to change your name just to be treated with dignity.
- devoply 7y agoThere are many things one is forced to do in life for instance sell most of your time for money so you are treated with dignity. A name is a small price to pay... most of your life spend doing someone else's bidding is something much worse, and yet most people do it.
- allannienhuis 7y agoBut your name is something you have the ability to change once you're an adult (and even earlier in some cases if you insist on being called by a preferred name or nickname). You don't have the ability to change how someone (everyone?) else reacts to an unusual name.
