HumorOn the Absurdity of "Deadnaming"
The whole "deadname" accusation is kind of hilarious to me. It sounds like something you'd do to kill a wizard. đ
It's like: imagine there's this trans doctor going "I'm gonna medically transition this 14-year-old girl... and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me! Ahahahaha!"
And then the transphobe -- the brave, TERF transphobe -- crashes in through a stained glass window on horseback, and she's all like: "hold it right there: thou vile, twisted abomination! I know your TRUE name!"
"It isn't Mxyzptlk, your gender-neutral name. It's.... William! WILLIAM!"
And the trans doctor is all like "No! NOOOOOO!!" And he starts to fucking melt: all his fake eyelashes and hair implants fall out.
But then he gets up and is like "You can't do this to me! William is gone! Now there is only... Mxyzptlk!"
"But in words there is truth, and in truth there is power!" says the TERF, heroically. "And I know the truth, foul thing! Your name isn't Mxyzptlk. It's WILLIAM! WILLIAM! You're William and you removed your willie!"
"NO! NOOOOOO! I'm melting, I'm melting! Curse you, you vile little girl! Your words... they're literally violence!"
Thank you all, you've been a lovely audience, goodnight. đ
