Well, I tried to change my pseudonym, which I picked way back in the 86K's. Why did I first call myself threesmommy? What was the delightful identity I planned for myself? Ah yes, the wise crone who is also a litigator, and has successfully raised three perfect children. Who wouldn't listen to my erudite thoughts wittily scribbled in comments and diaries?
As I came to find out, most of you are men. Although you all were born of women, you have somehow developed a certain brutishness when in each other's company. Not only that, but occasionally it expresses itself in dismissiveness, or worse, sorry sexism.
So I thought, well, these guys don't have to know I'm a girl. I can mask the feminine, and channel my male side. All I have to do it get rid of that "mommy" part in my pseudonym. But how to accomplish this? Whatever I do, I'll lose my 86K UID. But it would be worth it.
But now I have learned that you tenacious geeks will find out who I really am. If I start to post under my new name, someone in pajamas in his mother's basement will most surely find out. And then I will be outed, like others before me. No, there is simply no way to change the facts of my dKos birth. I'll just have to continue to fight the good fight, calling out the sexism when it goes over the top, and hoping you men will remember your mother when you address me.
