Deadnaming is the act of referring to a person by the name given by their parents, instead of by the name they chose for themselves later in life. It is considered by some to be an evil insult, and considered by others as a simple reference to who someone really is.
"If you grew up with Marilyn Monroe, and you call her Norma Jean, you are deadnaming her. Stop it, you evil monster!"
---------
"I demand that you call her Caitlyn from now on."
"But his name is Bruce. I would feel guilty if I ignored my conscience by purposely perpetuating a lie. I don't want to force myself to use a stage name as if it was real, or to pretend that someone is someone other than who they really are. If it upsets you when I use his real name or pronoun, then I will do my best to respect his feelings, and the feelings of others with your beliefs, by avoiding referring to him by EITHER name. And I will refer to him as 'they/them' instead of 'he/him'...but I refuse to refer to him as 'she/her'. I am doing my best to show respect for his feelings and yours, and I ask that you also respect MY feelings by not trying to force me to lie, and that you please stop trying to police my thoughts and beliefs with threats of cancellation."

Get the deandray mug.A person who is a complete douchebag to everyone. Usually self-centered; thinks he's always perfect when he is in fact wrong. Cowers under pressure and tries to lie or pussy his way out of things by trying to blame others. Normally sits and keeps to himself. Likes to gang up or sucker punch in a fight because he's too cowardly to fend for himself. Pretends to smart and deep to attract attention from others, but most of the time fails.

Get the DeAndre mug.A Dean is someone who generally is always angry at everybody and everything.
When startled they tend to pull a face that looks like Nicholas Cage when he's doing his psycho smile. Followed by a quick smash to the face with a sledgehammer.
