 Everyone has a name. We're given a name when we're born and we collect nicknames as we grow older. As a non-binary person I have a birth name and I have nicknames. I also have a preferred name. It's no secret that most names are gendered. Calling someone by their preferred name recognizes the humanity in that person. There is a certain power in the simple practice of naming. We name things and people to make it easier to identify them. If the name does not fit what we are naming we come up with a new one. If a gender name does not fit our non-gendered identity we have the power to create a neutral one.
