Why do you care what someone wants to be called? Why does this type of thing get some people so excited?
Hulk Hogan isn’t his real name. kid Rock isn’t his real name and the RNC had them at their convention.
Griner is competing in basketball in the sex assigned at birth so there is no unfair advantage so this isn’t about that.
So mum and dad are meaningless terms to you?
Dawg. They said that those weren't their real names, not that they didn't have meaning. Like any social construct, a name has meaning which is why it exists. Now here they're comparing a name to another more generic noun. But the point remains that a noun like "pops" can take on different meanings to different people just like the term "role model" or " guardian".
Not that I'm convinced you actually care to understand vs just trolling. But I say this more for anyone else who may read and be interested in understanding.
