"Hey, I tried to hex this person using the name they put down on that credit-card application, but it didn't work."

"Oh, yeah, probably they disidentify with their legal name, that can mess it up."

A tweet from @bmo, official Twitter account of the Bank of Montreal, dated April 18th. 'True Name™ by Mastercard gives trans and non-binary customers the ability to have their chosen name on their card. It's just one more way BMO makes banking feel secure, for everyone. #BMOPride spr.ly/6017Ksfn3'

(Like, I get the idea, but "True Name™" feels like such a creepy phrasing? It reminds me of those urban-fantasy stories where the Fair Folk run coffeeshops in order to bait people into giving out their names.)
