[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8324343, member: 6779196"] For many trans people, at least. An analogy that might or might not help: I have a family member who has been sober for about 30 years now. When he used to drink, he went by Mike. When he stopped drinking, he started going by Michael. He can’t stand being called Mike any more because it reminds him of the person he was when he drank. The analogy isn’t perfect of course, but I think it kind of gets the idea across. We associate a great deal with names, so being referred to by a name that you associate with a version of yourself that you want to leave behind you can be pretty painful. [/QUOTE]
