So the sense that facebook is going through the notions of the legal laws of the internet of saying user account must be verified as such through the legal name of the said person. Which is such an outdated law which represents the face of the close minded people who created the law.
If facebook is going through this, then google/yahoo/aol etc needs to start purging all their accounts of people creating and recreating all emails through their services.
And the whole inherent nicknames as they can cast (William to Bill etc...) should there inherently be request to the same purge. As it is not the legal name, even though through history claims to justify the use of those names to be under the same or similar to the legal name. Which makes their loophole in causing a rift from the transgender populous and the inherent binary in names.
But if they do as such, if you technically play their game of inherent names and find through your own ancestry, a relative of the same name you are pursuing, you could technically claim that your legal name is there a representation of the name thereof you are claiming to rightfully wish to be justified.
This post is a collection from a conversation I just had last night with someone who is sort of having a not so open mindset but not necessarily closed mindset with the idea of names and going by them. Yes it is discrimination if they do not purge consequential those Bill's, Jeff's, etc... But if they do purge them it wont classify as discrimination. Though if they just fix the outdated and out notioned law, then they can just let everyone use names of where they would be comfortable.
