Deadnaming

Using a transgendered person pre-transition (birth) name or gender pronouns to refer to him or her.

Bruce Jenner, known to some as Caitlyn, claims he has always considered himself a woman "on the inside".

The above is an example of deadnaming.

Did you see that "shithole" was word of the day twice recently? That's defining Trump if I've ever seen it.

Deadnaming

A word describing when somebody calls someone, mostly a transgender, the wrong name, and they proceed to get overly offended.

“Hey James, how’s it going my man?”

“DUDE!! YOU DEADNAMED ME!! MY NAME ISN’T JAMES ANYMORE YOU BIGOT!!! I’M A WOMAN NOW!!”

“Oh sorry for deadnaming you-“

“FUCKING TRANSPHOBE!!! DONT EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN!!”

Deadnaming

The mere fact of calling a person by their old firstname when they've already legally changed names.

"Hey Wenfei"
"Ew stop calling me that. I recently changed my name to Joseph, remember?"
"Oh, right... sorry forgot."
"It's okay. I just hate my old name, it sounds so stupid and weird. I feel more like a Joseph, y'know."

Deadnaming

1.) It's not a real thing.

2.) It's made up bullshit.
3 ) OK, fine. A term thrown around by petulant fantasy dwellers when they fail to force others to play along in their delusions.

John: Hey, Bob. How's life?

Bob: Stop deadnaming me, you insensitive transphobe. It's Roberta now.
John: OK, Bob.

Bob: Racist.
