makingStuffForFunWhat 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?
Lumelore (She/her)It’s not specifically of dead trans people, they meant of all trans people. The term deadname typically refers to the birth name of a trans person that they no longer use.
Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I can see that the person I replied to has now edited their comment also be more specific. It literally read as though they meant someone who was literally dead, and was trans, which made absolutely zero sense.
