"My name. My legal name is Katherine and I was called Katie my entire life. When I was 28/29 I started shifting over to Kate instead and didn't think it would be an issue since most of my friends and family were already calling me Kate half the time anyway.I'm 36 now, I've been introducing myself as Kate for at least 7 years, I sign cards as Kate, I've asked people to please call me Kate — it doesn't happen.
I know it probably seems petty, but I mean I am asking you to please use a different diminutive of my legal name, one that is very similar to what you already called me, why can't this just happen? Why the need to double down on ignoring my request?" —
