My first name is pretty uncommon for girls, but I am the only guy I know bearing my first name. I get misgendered a lot that way. Nobody who reads it pronounces it correctly. Nobody who hears it spells it correctly. It's frustrating sometimes.

I am comfortable disclosing that my middle name is Michael. It narrows my identity down so very little because it was the most common English boys name every year from 1961 to 1998 and was a top 10 boys name every year from 1943 to 2004.

So common is it that the Japanese punk band Peelander-Z made a song in 2009 called "So Many Mike," poking fun at the phenomenon.

So to avoid confusion, I use my middle name when I'm out.

I mean, "Spicytuna" is traditionally a girls' name.

Quis ut deus? That's Latin for Michael. "Who is as God?", asked in a menacingly manner, holding a flaming sword to strike down the unbelievers. That's the archangel Michael's job.
