I think the people who deadname are either clueless and don't realize it, or they are vicious.

In any case, it is incredibly hurtful. Either the person deadnames someone because the deadnamed person is not out to them, and in that case the question is more about coming out or not, or the person deadnames someone just to hurt them. And that is vicious.

Deadnaming apart from being rude is discriminatory and tantamount to erasure and an insistence that not all human beings have a right to self-determination. Not really worth news either

Dead naming is among the highest levels of disrespect and trans-misogyny. It is blatantly saying that we in the Trans Community do not exist. It is used to justify the assaults and murders that happen to my People. For me, it is akin to an act of war.

It's not a matter of opinion

Just curious, when someone fills out applications for visas or something else, they ask if you've ever been know by another name, does that constitute as deadnaming?
-
Don't think so, it's just declaring former names, it's for identification purposes, they don't use the former name on the document, like for my driver's license and passport application, needed to put in former and current name, everything came in my current name.

I think asking people’s opinion is actually quite transphobic. Why does it matter? My name is my name. End of. Only about 12 people in my life now knew me when I was living as a Male. They all ‘transitioned’ with me and never use my old name ever. It is irrelevant so why ask?
