As a trans person, I like to remind everyone you are not just allowed but encouraged to deadname Twitter

[–] [email protected] 55 points 10 months ago

Calling it deadnaming implies Twitter chose the name X. Twitter did not make that decision, thus calling Twitter Twitter is in no danger of offending Twitter.

Going to deadname Twitter as long as musk is deadnaming his daughter

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Oohhh that’s a good one.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

...what the heck is "deadnaming"?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Using a trans persons's birth name rather than their preferred name. If done purposefully, it's extremely insulting.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I hadn't heard the term.

Doesn’t have to be a trans person

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Ooh. Excellent point. I will be disrespectfully deadnaming Twitter from now on.

As a cisgender person I'm so sorry for the shit other cisgender write on Twitter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The fuck? You don’t have to be sorry for what other people do. That’s other people.

What’s with all this carrying blame for shit other people have done just because you share an uncontrollable trait with them?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I understand your point but I'm not carrying blame. I see what people write and I'm so sorry it happens

Only if you think corporate branding is equal to personal identification.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But... but corporations are more important than individuals

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

And corpos are people! Right?... Right?
