“My partner has no problem with it, the only people that seem to take issue with it are generally people I don’t want to spend time with anyway, getting very angry and demanding to know what my “real name” is.”
“My husband’s name is more typically a girl’s name so sometimes people assume that I’m a lesbian when I tell them my spouse’s name. You know what I do about it? Nothing.”
“Because it literally doesn’t matter what strangers think about my life. I’d never even consider asking him to go by a more masculine version of his name cause it’s not my place to demand that. And it’s not yours either.”
“It’s her name, her business. You don’t get to decide what she likes to be called, especially since she’s not asking YOU to change what you call her. Also, way to throw in some casual transphobia on top of it.”
“Have you never heard of the actress Michael Learned?”
