Usually you can tell if someone is insulting with the meaning or not. For one like I've said, my last name is an euphemism in English, and I've never really had an issue with it, probably because it's actually quite common.

But just recently I've had a co-worker point out that it's been getting weirder and weirder for him to call me by my last name. In fact at first I thought he was only doing it as a joke, mainly because he didn't really want to call me by my first name, since I don't like to shorten it and he'd rather shorten it, and I never responded when he called me by my middle name, since it's not pronounced the same in the original language as it is in English. So he took to calling me by my last name. I pretty much figured it was a joke since it's not like he ever ragged on me about it, and then when he starts asking if there was something else I could respond to, and I pointed out if it was because of my last name, he responded that yeah it had something to do with my last name.

But then I just told him I don't really care. It's my last name, so there's no issue with it whatsoever.

What I'm getting at is that I pretty much thought he decided to keep calling me by my last name due to the euphemism involved since he almost jumped on the fact that my last name was my last name. I was sort of right if he thought so too. But like I told him, I don't mind at all. If he's trying to make fun of me because of my last name, then that's an issue, but it never came up, so I myself didn't mind. It's my name so I'll wear it with pride.

Now I'm not saying you should accept Trap as it is, but in life everyone eventually gets a label of some sort. And heck there might be, excuse me while I use the word, 'Trap' that probably doesn't even care and might even wear the title with pride. Granted though, that's probably an exaggeration, but I'm sure there's some people out there who don't mind the concept, so long as it's not being used against them in any sort of way.

Heck I'd also like to point out that there are actual Trap 'Traps' if I want to get technical. I've actually seen a few videos that let's just say deliberately up the cross dressing factor, so surely these guys are doing it for the fun of it.

So really, I wouldn't say you're overreacting, but I'd like to say you're looking at this in a half empty way. Not everything has to be negative after all. Heck I live my life as an optimist so I definitely try to be positive about everything, to the point that I'm really saddened by how many people out there actually hate their lives :3
