Legal name change? Or does the NotFound family dynasty have roots in Atlantis?

yep. Buck v Bell is a good Supreme Court case study on that in the United States (oh fun fact, Nazi eugenics programs were modeled after it)
Basically this woman was institutionalized and declared an imbecile and got her tubes tied so she couldn't reproduce any longer. Rationalized because they declared her straight A daughter an idiot too. The woman had been raped by her foster parent's nephew and they wanted her out of the picture. Everyone was of normal intelligence (but we don't do anything to imbeciles today anyway so its a moot point).
The Supreme Court ruled on behalf of the foster family and state, stating "three generations of idiots are enough" reaffirming the state's rights to destroy reproductive ability of someone against their will.
All other states updated their eugenics statutes to be constitutional.
Her sister also had her fallopian tubes cut while under anesthesia in an unrelated procedure, and didn't find out until 1980 after she investigated her troubles getting pregnant all those years.
This is still valid case law. No Supreme Court has overruled this 1928 decision. Thank Hitler for making eugenics politically unpopular (along with the way we did the pledge of allegiance, along with swastikas, along with criticizing zionism, along with interment camps, along with......)

Straight guy here, one time I left the confines of Manhattan and realized that wearing tight pants and predictably not watching sports were things
People actually called me metro.

Not really. That is just gambling at all.
Gambling addiction is when it affects people around you, loved ones, priorities.
