Years ago, a couple of my intro to lit students (theatre majors) caught me after class to accuse me of being Canadian because of the way I sometimes pronounce “about.” I grew up a U.S. military brat. Had a Canadian babysitter as a toddler, though, according to my mom.

Sorry that I missed it! Here is my FB post from 4 days ago on the same topic. In the 1970s and 80s, they blamed “cold” moms for autism. So the mom/blaming has been going on a while.

I’m not advocating that others do this now. By all means, keep all of your given names. What I’m amazed at is the pushback women are experiencing now due to one party’s ill-conceived and cruel crusade. Ridiculous!

When I married over 40 years ago, I dropped my given middle name and took my maiden name as my new middle name. (I never told my mother!) I then applied for a reissued SS card (same SSN) in my new name, supplying my marriage license to them. My passport has always had my new name, as do my IRS files
