But please trust me, as a trans woman and member of many trans communities, that there is absolutely a greater evil here, and it is unquestionably deliberately deadnaming a trans person. I don't think I've made it clear how offensive and transphobic that actually is, but it's really, really bad. Comparable to a slur, really. I understand that the harm is probably minimal in this current context, but I don't want anyone walking away from this thread from any illusions as to what is or is not in the best interest of trans people in general and trans creators in specific. Again, I don't blame any cis person for thinking this is the safest or most reasonable course of action. But. It. Is. Not.</blockquote>
