what is a singer? a runner? a painter? Do I have to win a marathon to be runner, or can I be a runner and run a mile a week at 5mph? If you see me running that mile, am I not “the runner over there?”
Regarding your own freedom, if someone says “My name is Elizabeth, you can call me Liz, Lizzie, Liza, Eliza… just not Beth please,” and you go “Ok BETH.” - yeah, that’s your freedom to do that, you’re still an asshole.
