Iirc it's been some years since i was last #deadnamed [ironically & sadly by my elderly Dad, not in any malicious way, but coz he's... elderly]. However, so often, so soooooo bloody often, that despised old name is used for characters in novels, tv shows, movies, [sometimes even music, damnit] & i can't adequately describe how upset it makes me every time. It's not uncommon that i will choose to abandon the book or show, for instances of it being a major character hence occurring all the time. If there's such a thing [ofc, there's not], it feels like i'm being subjected to "Munchausen syndrome by proxy deadnaming". Ugh.

Wait, he #deadnamed his 🐦 company? ☠️

#cishet quotes from the CTO? 🤔

"What’s in a name? Republican vice presidential nominee #JDVance has had many of them"

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with a name change, and Vance's various iterations and evolutions are all for commonly encountered reasons.

But ...

1. If #Harris had changed her name a bunch of times, you'd bet there would be attack ads about it from the #GOP.

2. I wonder if Vance has sympathy for #trans folk who change their names (and would rather not be #deadnamed ).

Here's why JD Vance has had so many names

When it comes to Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance’s name, it’s complicated. The senator from Ohio introduced himself to the world in 2016, when he published his bestselling memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” under the name J.D. Vance, with periods between the initials for James David. Vance explained it wasn't the first iteration of his name. Over the course of his 39 years, Vance’s first, middle and last names have all been altered. As Vance is being introduced to voters across the country as Donald Trump’s running mate, his name has been the source of questions, including why he no longer uses periods in JD.

...(even when we have a full face of makeup, talk in a "feminine," tone, dress in a traditionally "feminine," way, and act demure and femme) we will be #misgendered, #deadnamed, and "Sirred," even after (in my case) almost 3 years on HRT.

It is super #dysphoria inducing and makes me (at least) feel like there isn't really a point, because if that is how they feel looking like they do after 6 months and 10-20 years younger...
