What’s up with people changing their names after marriage or adoption too‽
Why does everyone refer to her as Marie Curie instead of Maria Skłodowska? It’s just soo unnecessarily complicated to have to use a different name than the one assigned at birth.
And yet no one is referring to Kim as Kim Kardashian West, but still Kim Kardashian.
Because that’s how she’s told people she prefers to be called, that’s how she still brands her social media.
People respecting somebody else’s choice for how to refer to them is literally the example that is the worst for your argument.
