<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Deadnaming''' is the act of referring to a person's [[birth name]] instead of their [[chosen name]](s).<br />
<br />
Deadnaming normally occurs for one of three reasons:<br />
<br />
1: Someone accidentally deadnames because they're used to using that name.<br />
<br />
''For example: John Doe called his transgender sister, "Steve" by accident because he had referred to her as that for most of his life. He apologized and corrected himself.''<br />
<br />
2: Someone purposefully deadnames to cause distress.<br />
<br />
''For example: At school, while Jen was walking down the hall, Anthony walked by her and coughed "Steve." Jen got upset and tried to correct Anthony, but he just walked away snickering.''<br />
<br />
3: Someone purposefully deadnames because of their beliefs.<br />
<br />
''For example: Great Aunt Mary called Jen "Steve" because she believed that Jen is still a boy. ''<br />
<br />
Many consider deadnaming to be a form of [[transphobia]] or harassment.<br />
<br />
Some ways people avoid deadnaming:<br />
* use stand-ins like <boyname><br />
* use the single initial of the former first name<br />
* refer to that identity as pre-<current name> <br />
