It's 2024, people. You need to start respecting people for being themselves. They're not hurting anyone, but YOU are by not respecting who they are. We are fully LGBTQIA+ supportive here and we're sick of people giving excuses for dropping deadnames. If you don't know what a deadname is, it is the name given to the trans person before they were trans. Usually, after coming out as trans, that person will change their name to something they are more comfortable with. It's your duty, as their friend, family, or loved on, to respect that. You remember your drinking buddy's nickname, but you can't remember your own flesh and blood's new first name? You remember to use “Mrs.” vs “Miss" after a wedding, but you can't remember your trans friend's pronouns? Come on, do better people.
Luckily, there are people out there doing better and it restores our faith in humanity. This family has a family member who recently came out as trans. She told everyone her new pronouns and name, and all were supportive… Except for one nefarious aunt. This aunt refused to use the new pronouns and constantly dropped this girl's deadname. Instead of fighting with her every single time, the entire family decided to stop using the nicknames they've used all their lives and switch to their long and complicated full names. So now the aunt had to learn and remember much more complicated names for every single family member. PLUS, they started calling her by her full first name, which she hated.
She apparently got the picture, and the family rarely sees her now. They say, “good riddance!”
