tw deadnaming

you can say a character is trans without fucking deadnaming them. https://twitter.com/luvvenji/status/1274559340092051457
it makes total sense that op doesn't have their pronouns in their bio lol
anyway i'm begging mfs to STOP DEADNAMING THEIR TRANS CHARACTERS. IT'S TRANSPHOBIC AND UNNECESSARY.
WE REALLY DONT NEED TO KNOW THEIR DEADNAME. IF THEY'RE TRANS WE KNOW THEY'RE LIKELY TO HAVE ONE. THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.
You wouldn't introduce me as "This is Wes, they used to be [deadname]" SO WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IT TO YOUR CHARACTERS?? IT'S PRETTY FUCKING TRIGGERING
you know what actually i'm convinced that people who introduce their trans characters like "___, used to be [deadname]" would 100% introduce their trans 'friends' the exact same way
also why is it always "feminine version of this masculine name" and vice versa like are we a joke to cis people??
