  And when they want to go by something else, we’re ok with it (nick names)

  You know who’s not fine with it? People who care more about themselves than they care about others.

  I had a friend named John who, later in life, asked to be called his given name, Jonathan. For the friend group and most of his family, it was a bit hard to remember at first, but we did it because we cared about him. For some of his family, it was another matter - they fought against it with excuses, questioning, and “forgetfulness”. Only after being assertive, defending himself again and again did they respect his wishes. And this was a cis male asking to be called his give name because he felhe was at a new stage of his life. The difference was that one part of his family cared more about themselves than they did about Jonathan.

  Some of us have an abundance of care to fellow humans, and we give it freely. Some are too inconvenienced by things that they don’t like, or doesn’t fit their conventions that they say, “You can’t make me respect you!” or “Respecting you is making me less free!” And they do so because they care less about the people they interact with than themselves.

  I’m guessing OP is a troll btw. Anyone serious on this topic would have written a manifesto. Thanks for getting me writing though! 😋
