I’m still going by my birth name, which is both really common and heavily masculine coded.
As a result (I think) people keep trying to twist it into the feminine equivalent. The worst offender is the NHS, every letter I receive from them mangles the name in new and exciting ways.
I’m honestly thinking of picking a new name in the hopes folks’ll spell it right for a change.
It’s kind of cute (and hopefully affirming) that they try. Then again, there go the dumbasses of the world working overtime to erase anything that doesn’t fit some arbitrary binary categorization.
