    but then I remember that not ditching her would mean I’d have to explain why I changed my name and I’d rather suck off a polar bear. Cis name changes are worse than genocide.

    “Why did you change your name?”

    “Personal reasons I’d rather not discuss, but just know that this name makes me happy”

    Proceeds to engage in genocide

      What world do you live in where it’s that easy? If I’m not married or transgender then I might as well have dropped those bombs in Japan. I had friends who genuinely liked me but would not have respected my name change. Even simply having a preferred name in high school was horrible, they’d rather struggle with with stupid tragedeigh grossness that family’s mother stuck on me.
