MODERATORS
just because someone demonstrated intelligence and efficacy in a specific field does not make them an appropriate authority on other shit.
herman cain, for instance, was a very talented neurosurgeon but still such a fucking moron he literally got his own stupid ass killed through covid denialism.
this is also why we should still call it twitter no mattter what a dipshit like elon musk wants
people who have, on paper, a "right" to assign the name or title to something can be wrong, and this is one such case.
If you say so, Cathy. That's your new name by the way, your parents were clearly wrong because reasons, and Cathy is easier to write so that's you now.
Ironically more fitting than my legal name :p
Almost every person who was assigned the same legal name by their parents, I ended up hating their guts, but I've never met a Cathy I didn't like.
If there becomes an etymological precedent, such as someone actually accurately guessing WHY Cathy would serve greater utility as my name than my legally assigned-at-birth one, I'll introduce myself to people even outside this thread as Cathy, and furthermore explain why if they actually want to hear it.
As for this comment thread, hi y'all my name is Cathy. At least, to this person it is. I'll recognize when they call me Cathy, though.
