Context: I am visiting a high school friend. Another friend who we both knew in high school has posted some interesting things recently. This friend has changed their name, but the friend I am visiting is not following them and is not aware of their transition.

How do I bring up this friend without dead naming them?

I'm confused as to why you're thinking so hard about something when half a sentence is all it takes to convey the relevant information.

Is there something specific that you're worried about?

I just want to respect my friend's transition.
