do not under any circumstances give a librarian your true name, accept a gift from it (especially food or drink) and for god's sake never stray from the path in a library.
@JenYetAgain @cute_stuff @ielenia its saying that the name on your library card can be your actual name, and doesnt have to be whats on your government issued ID, and acknoledging that your gov recognized name isnt nessecarily the same as your actual name,
its is common accomidation for trans people who are often unable to change their names because of discrimination,
but is also useful for everyone else who may have done that
@JenYetAgain @cute_stuff @ielenia its very common yes; because many names have a gendered connotation, but some also just dont like their old names,
im like fairly sure thats what its about
