people close to me still capitalize my name and it's like. my brain keeps telling me that If You Tell Them It's Wrong One More Time They'll Finally Unfriend You

trauma is nice

@mavica_again my display name in my work chat has been reverted back to my full legal name twice now. I suppose I was getting "too cute" with a ton of punctuation, so eventually I changed it to ".Nickame Surname" and yet again it was changed for me back to my full legal name. What was more upsetting was that no one came to me to say "we have a policy" or "this is unacceptable". Zero negotiation or explanation. So I'm just guessing at why and even how this was done.

Who in my org gets to define my name?

This while my state gets ready to ban pronouns.
