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.
Yeah he’s not asking that question in good faith.
Oh... I'm not very good at determining if people are, so I tend to treat everyone like they are asking in good faith. Maybe at least someone else will see my comment and find it useful I hope.
You did good 😊
This is a good practice, i appreciate what you're doing. If anything, i occasionally like to respond to posts like that in order to set the record straight for other people who may read the comment. Debating or disproving the commenter isn't necessary as much as putting correct information right there next to their bullshit. Some people might buy their lies or faux good-faith, but anyone on the fence or unsure will hopefully benefit from having the truth repeated right next to the lie/bs.
It's just some edgy troll thinking they are being clever
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.
No, that's you thinking you're funny when you troll so poorly.
Are more amusing than you.
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 :/
Let’s say you knew someone named Bob, who later came out as a trans woman named Sue. If you insisted on calling her Bob instead of Sue, that would be deadnaming.
Excellent description. Thank you for the clarity. That makes more sense.
