[Loyalist]

Reader beware: here is the explanation from barbara findlay's website.

My name is spelled without capital letters. People make many assumptions about why that is. Here is the story. I have always signed my name without capital letters. When I was taking a graduate studies program in law in 1990, I had letterhead designed and my name was in lower case. I liked it, so I continued it when I went back into private practice. What an uproar! Lawyers called me up to say that they had a vote in their firm about why I chose that spelling; a court once rejected an Order because ‘my name was not properly spelled’ the local queer newspaper refused for years to spell my name without capitals; etc. etc. I realized that I had a perfect illustration of how we react when someone moves even a tiny bit away from the norm, and even with respect to something that impacts no one else at all. So I have kept that spelling, and I tell this story in unlearning oppression workshops.

Oh, and I thought I didn't capitalize my name most of the time because I was lazy. Instead I'm making a statement. Cool!

I thought about looking her up, and then realized she may have some goofy explaination.

It's so "I'm a rebel, look at me!!" ish it's not even funny.

I know exactly what she means: I like to leave the zipper down on my pants...
