Has amv maker in 2015 lost their minds?

Damn those negatives and that lack of an edit button. Rather "Athena is definitely NOT a creation of mine..."

oh thats the trick! i see i should take female name when i get married.. to indicate my "inactive" status? how yr naturalization's going btw?

[Kionon]

1) ...If you're suggesting that Kionon is a "male" name and Athena was a female "persona" during my inactive period, allow me to reiterate that I made up Kionon. I'm not a dude, so Kionon isn't a dude's name. All of my documents clearly state "F" or "女." Except for my high school transcript, which for some reason says "Sex: Girl" which is the first time I've ever seen an official document not use "F" or "M" or the words they stand for. My Japanese name, which is my legal name, is an extremely common female Japanese name, for which Kio is a common nickname. That was an intentional part of the reason I chose it.

2) Waiting. Got another year and a half before the application can be processed, there's a physical residency requirement, and it has to be consecutive. I broke it when I went to graduate school back in Texas, and I have to make that time up. Everything else, at the moment, is fine.
