Fascinated by this portion of the NY Mag story where it talks about people who don't understand "why deadnaming a trans colleague was considered 'bad'"

Because it's not their name. This isn't complicated. No one is like, "Why is it considered 'bad' that I call my colleague Bob 'Steve'?" or "Why is it bad if someone updates their last name after getting married and I keep calling them their old one?"

@parkermolloy My “favorite” of these was a teacher in Leesburg who opposed a draft policy that would have required them to use a student’s preferred name. Dude goes by Tanner… which is actually his legal middle name. Motherfucker, you don’t even use your OWN legal first name.
