You shouldn't be forced to change your name just to be treated with dignity.

There are many things one is forced to do in life for instance sell most of your time for money so you are treated with dignity. A name is a small price to pay... most of your life spend doing someone else's bidding is something much worse, and yet most people do it.

But your name is something you have the ability to change once you're an adult (and even earlier in some cases if you insist on being called by a preferred name or nickname).

You don't have the ability to change how someone (everyone?) else reacts to an unusual name.

Literally the last paragraph:

"We can't always go through life-changing things to make other people happy ... and I had to learn that early on."

You shouldn't be forced to subject yourself to your parent's poor decisions.
