This. It's too bad Google conflated their technical goal of a unified login system with their policy goal of whatever-their-policy-goal-is — probably something to do with knowing more about their users and/or getting them to interact with social features more.

Which is pretty funny to me, because this flat-out guarantees that I will not use their social features. As a currently non-transitioning trans woman, there are a great many YouTube videos that I enjoy but absolutely can not have associated with my legal name.

I understand how unsafe and unsettled that must make you feel, and I hope that you are able to continue enjoying YouTube without endangering and/or outing yourself. Good luck.
