A Name Is Not Just A Label
Hmm… if I use different names sometimes (without the intention of malicious deception), is it ok? As in not akin to lying? Example: I change my last name sometimes In informal settings… ( use my husband’s name rather than my father’s, which is my actual last name ) I may do this for two reasons: 1- for convenience to identify myself as my husband’s wife in certain social settings 2- I dislike that people can track me online so I rather give a full name that won’t lead them to me, also I have been spammed with atrocious messages before just because my name tells my gender and I purposely only use my last name so to actively hide my gender ( this is deceptive but It’s for safety at this point)
