I don’t use it, but i’ll forever call it Twitter.

What is deadnaming?
Intentionally using the former name of a (typically trans) person with the intent to cause harm

That is incredibly niche. I’m sure 99.999% of the population would not know what that is, were it happening to them.

I mean, how many names of dead trans people would the general person on the street know?

That is incredibly niche.

No, that’s you thinking you’re funny when you troll so poorly.

No, the person I replied to has simply edited their comment to be clearer. They originally wrote it as though they meant a literal dead person.

The only thing I added was the first parenthetical to clarify that "dead name" was the term for the former name.

Reading "the former name of a (typically trans) person" as "the name of a deceased trans person" is still on you :/
