Hiya,
I am so uncomfortable with your 'legal name' policy that I am unable to use your service.
This has already been discussed extensively by people far more articulate than I, so I'm not sure what I can add to this debate.
There is no way I am going to use my (gendered) legal name to interact in public on any matter more significant than how I feel about the weather.
I experience your policy as an expression of male privilege and find it personally silencing.
Cheers, Me
