As someone who is known by 5 different names , depending on the country, family , friend, or coworker, I salute this post.

Not sure bigotry is the correct word (I could be wrong). I would call it people respecting our evolving identity & boundaries.

What it is is jst plain stupid.
I always call people by what they wish to be called. It's not my business as it's not my damn name.

I appreciate your firm stance.

I still have to check old friends from calling me by my nickname from 14 years old in front of new people.

I want to be introduced as Joseph or Joe.

Not every nickname stands the test of time & people busting out laughing when introduced ain’t a cool response.
