      Tbh I'm a big fan of the old Chinese tradition where people -- or at least people considered important, scholars and professionals etc. -- carried multiple different names throughout their lifetime for different contexts (family, school, colleagues, etc)https://twitter.com/pronounced_ing/status/1294245165373239300 …

      Amen. (I have a similar situation.) Maybe we should just accept it when people tell us what their “real name” is, and call them what they’d like to be called? https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1294242658664108032 …

      I'm a fan of online culture allowing people to pick handles, and I've tried to adjust my language so when meeting someone from online in a different context I ask "What do I call you?" and not "What's your name?"

      A lot of people who are down on pseudonyms and big on "real name policies" act like this is enabling wrongdoers They point to how the first step in exposing a predator or abuser is to strip away their self-granted nicknames -- "cyberdude13 is really John R. Smith"

          Okay but You do that because that's how we treat criminals, and we all have this intuition that being treated like that is being treated like a criminal

          The whole "serial killers have three names" thing (i.e. the *fact* that you are a criminal means they use your complete legal name every single time they mention you, because they want everyone to know exactly who you are)

          The right to be a different person at different times in different contexts is something we all draw on to some degree whether we admit it or not We strip it away from people who've done terrible things, and the act of stripping it is itself a shameful, traumatizing punishment

          The scarlet letter, the brand Forcing you to knock on your neighbors' doors going "I'm a registered sex offender" Having a context that sticks to you like superglue and can never be removed whatever other context you try to adopt

          I'm not saying you're not allowed to do that or you should never do that There are a lot of people I'd happily do that to I'm saying that when you do that to someone, you are telling everyone you don't like this person and you are treating them with hostility
