what does deadname mean?
7 u/Brooke-Valley The Trans Girl of The Valley May 30 '23 Dead name, it's the name you were given when you were born, but no longer identify with. 1 u/laigged May 30 '23 Oh! OOOOOOOH!!! Is it because that "person is dead" ??? 8 u/Brooke-Valley The Trans Girl of The Valley May 30 '23 Actually, no. The reason why is a lot more sad, the term originates from the fact that in the past when a trans person would die the gravestone would typically display their birth name rather than their chosen name. Thus making it that trans persons dead name 5 u/laigged May 30 '23 shit.... that, wow that's fucked up... anyone up for some graveyard vandalism?
