Wow, I had never thought about it before... For me, the point is that names are a poor identifier of achievement in cultures that insist on or encourage name changes in a large percentage of the population. It’s easy to overlook problems — or dismiss them as being non-problems, as I saw in many of the comments to this post that didn’t get past moderation — when they don’t affect you directly Meaning, its use case only projected for MAABs (males assigned at birth) Note that this is also true for any academic publication, once you change your name, either through marriage or gender reassignment, you need to give up your previous publications. To conclude, the scientific research and software development industry are not conceived to be welcoming to people who change names, women and transpeople. Their use case was projected for cis-men and. Either because it was conceived by cis-men who did not take this into consideration since they overlooked it or, in a worst-case scenario, well, I prefer to not even mention the worst-case scenario. Gives me chills.
