This one is a hard one, as a cis-gender male, I don't go by my real name. If someone calls me by my birth name I wouldn't even know they were referring to me.

I think its more to do with gender rather than names, that and the will to be cruel, of course.

    Yeah, I go by my middle name and nobody thinks it's weird.

    The only people that call me by my middle name are my... estranged family. So its sort of an insult in a way. Weird how that works out.
