Hey you know how he was Robert yesterday morning and now he's Leo?

It's that easy to respect someone's chosen name.

I know it's traditional, but it's a shame. I kinda feel Pope Bob has a more friendly sound to it, no?

Now wondering of its ok to deadname a Pope... 🙁

soapachu.bsky.social•22 days ago

It's not his deadname

In fairness, a man going from a male first name to another male first name is kind of Level 1 in the game isn't it. As I said elsewhere, I would have been interested in seeing the faces in the Conclave if he had said "Roberta I" 🙂

Not unusual for nuns to take on male names.

Sister Mary Joseph taught me at school. And beat me with a blackboard pointer.

Well it didn't necessarily make them nicer ...

In fairness to whom? Transphobes?

ervinsperla.bsky.social•22 days ago

No. My point was just that going from Robert to Leo comes with exactly zero risk of rejection. Trans people on the other hand (unfortunately have to) put much more on the line when they decide to change.

ervinsperla.bsky.social•22 days ago

It should be just as easy, but it isn't. That's all.

soapachu.bsky.social•22 days ago

Which is LITERALLY the point of my post.

Sorry for being slow 🤷
