As a trans person, I like to remind everyone you are not just allowed but encouraged to deadname Twitter

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 52 points 10 months ago

Calling it deadnaming implies Twitter chose the name X. Twitter did not make that decision, thus calling Twitter Twitter is in no danger of offending Twitter.

Going to deadname Twitter as long as musk is deadnaming his daughter

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Oohhh that’s a good one.

[–] BoastfulDaedra@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

...what the heck is "deadnaming"?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Using a trans persons's birth name rather than their preferred name. If done purposefully, it's extremely insulting.

[–] BoastfulDaedra@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I hadn't heard the term.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

Doesn’t have to be a trans person

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Ooh. Excellent point. I will be disrespectfully deadnaming Twitter from now on.

Only if you think corporate branding is equal to personal identification.

[–] Really_long_toes@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But... but corporations are more important than individuals

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

And corpos are people! Right?... Right?

As a cisgender person I'm so sorry for the shit other cisgender write on Twitter

[–] capital@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The fuck? You don’t have to be sorry for what other people do. That’s other people.

What’s with all this carrying blame for shit other people have done just because you share an uncontrollable trait with them?

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I understand your point but I'm not carrying blame. I see what people write and I'm so sorry it happens

[–] Arcane_Trixster@lemm.ee -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your virtue signal is a little bright. You should adjust the wattage.

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry I did not understand? Sarcasm perhaps?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you asking whether you're sorry?

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'm asking what the other person wrote
