Gosh I gave the wrong impression. I was agreeing with you. I have a core philosophy that people have a right to be called what they like to be called. John instead of Jonathon, etc. In also know several people who go by their second name because they don’t like who they were named after.

Yeah, you never deadname anyone ever. I get it.

I missed this at the time, but there is nothing to stop you from going to court and getting your name changed.

This is the system that conservatives set up. They did not have to link it to war, it could have been linked to any action. But, instead, they made it hard for families.
