[QUOTE="Rystefn, post: 9182105, member: 7043460"] Wow... So, first, Jaquays did not request her name be taken off of the concept. That didn't happen. It's not a real thing. To be clear here: I am not accusing Alexander of making it up. You lot did. The article could not be more clear that the actual objection was not to using her name, it was to spelling it wrong. Stop using "jaquaying" and start using "jaquaysing." That is all she is requesting of you. Alexander wants to change it to "xandering" because he wants to publish a book and using someone else's name like that raised some questions with the publisher, and also, because of course he wants to name it after himself. (And possibly a bit of "I'd rather change it to an entirely word than spell it differently, because I dislike that S for aesthetic reasons.") Second, the "harassment" being brought up here is only and entirely people saying "use jaquaysing instead of jaquaying" and maybe occasionally taking that objection too far. Again, you made this up, not Alexander. The article spells this out in plain English with no ambiguity whatsoever. Yes, Jaquays is almost certainly catching some highly unpleasant naughty word over trans issues, but that's entirely disconnected from the word "jaquaying" and is not mentioned or even hinted at in the blog post in question here. Yes, I literally made an account just to come in here and say this, because holy crap, six freaking pages of people saying "she said to take her name off it, so just stop using her name for it" when she literally never said that is way, way too much.
