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.
