      I think for the majority of the women, they chose pseudonyms because of the prevailing attitudes towards women at that time. That's why I don't mind this re-release. I think many would have liked to have been recognized as the brilliant women they were.https://mashable.com/2015/03/01/female-authors-pen-names/ …

      Were any of them trans? Maybe. But, I find it much more likely that several were stereotype breaking lesbians who bristled at the expectations placed upon them by society.

      Look the very fact that we even have this list of pseudonyms recorded at all means that everyone on this list was outed at some point in history Meaning the pretense was moot and they *were* revealed as women whether they liked it or not

      Which means if they actually wanted to, they could've called for their work to be republished under their legal name, but they didn't Again, that's why they're on this list, as opposed to someone like Charlotte Bronte who embraced being outed

      It’s not like butch lesbians with feminine birth names are known for never, ever wanting to self-determine whether people get to keep calling them that, either, like…

      “But have you considered perhaps… a lesbian?” really is not the counterargument against ‘is it ever valid to respect a person choosing to use a neutral or masculine name as an adult and without parental involvement’ that people seem to think it is

      Yeah there's plenty of people in Vernon Lee's situation today who would firmly and confidently tell you they aren't trans men, they're butch cis lesbians, but would also tell you not to fucking call them "Violet"

      I mean hell I know a (butch, cis) lesbian who’s viscerally uncomfortable with her birth name but hasn’t found another she’s committed to long-term and—even also knowing “literally don’t have an option other than the one she doesn’t like”—that makes using it feel vicariously bad

      Because it turns out not having an alternative to use yet doesn’t mean I’m not forcing her to engage with/“as” a name I know she doesn’t want or feel okay interacting with, and that’s an intrinsically hostile act

      I’ll call people who hurt me in informal contexts their formal/professional names as a flex all day long, but I can’t wrap my head around the choice to bring back something that’s not in current use at all a) making sense, let alone b) not being done because you want to attack

      Yes I'm not saying I don't have the right to call "Sargon of Akkad" Carl Benjamin if I want Or, God forbid, that this is equivalent to deadnaming a trans person But it's obviously something I do because I don't like or respect Carl Benjamin

          Remember when Charlie Sheen pulled this shit Started making a point of calling Chuck Lorre by his birth name, Chaim Levine And when people were like "You're coming off antisemitic here" he was like "No, I'm calling HIM out for being ashamed of his Jewish heritage"

          I think since Carl Benjamin ran for office under his real name rather his youtube handle, the latter became less a name and more a brand.

          "Count Dankula" was in ukip at the same time, but I don't remember his real name being used. But maybe just nobody talked about him Idk.
