Also this is a forum so a handle is the appropriate thing to call someone by. I would not call you Aerzia in real life.
It is fictitious as it is not a given name. (Definition of Fictitious: Not real or true, being imaginary or having been fabricated).
(Too clarify I'm speaking of using it instead of your given name in a real world situation)
You are equivocating your ability to pronounce it with the fact that it is frivolous and fictitious which is obviously a false equivocation.
Another false equivocation. Your claiming that they(in real life) are denying to use the name because they wish to deny your choice of gender. Correlation does not prove causation.
If you chose a more reasonable female name you would be able to get more people to call you by it(in real life). There are a lot of people myself included that support the idea of chosen gender(in real life). I do not support calling someone anything they wish no matter how fantastical sounding.

Quote:For comparison, a (younger by 4+ years) niece of mine decided she wished to be called Nicole but half a year ago... and they have all nearly flawlessly adapted (including her mother and even great-grandmother).
Pretending that this isn't a way they express their denial of my being a woman is to wear the rosiest colored glasses in existence.
