Branding Myself Since 10

Why is Clear, to verify identities, on LinkedIn forcing its members to either be verified with their legal name or lose the benefits that come with verification?

According to LinkedIn being verified:

Enhanced Trust and Credibility Increased Profile Visibility Stronger Professional Image Protection Against Impersonation Access to Exclusive Features

Here’s the challenge. I have never been called Patricia, except by doctors and passport control agents.

I have been attuned to branding since I was about 10-years-old.
