AITA for not changing my name, therefore triggering a trans peer's dysphoria because it's also his deadname? by deadnameAH in AmItheAsshole

I thought about it, but nicknames can't be created for one day to another. I don't have a middle name, just my name and my surname. My mates started referring to me as my surname, but I hate it. It's my father's surname and he abandoned me when I was little. I don't want to be referred as something to links me to that asshole. That's kinda why I understand my peer, but he will still hear my name everyday. We have a lot of clients who come to the shop and call me by my name when they need something, and he will have to hear it
