like if you wanna have your trans character have their deadname outed for whatever reason because for their background and the characterization for their family and friends permits it then fine. but otherwise? simply don’t ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

their crush doesn’t need to know, their found family doesn’t have to know, no one needs to know. it’s not something that should be romanticized that if a trans person is close enough with someone that they’ll share their deadname with them.

so unless it’s extremely imperative to the story for whatever reason? their name is just their name and that’s it, that’s all you need to think about and that’s all anyone needs to know.

i'm thoroughly enjoying all the room for jokes and situational gags and kind workarounds yall are coming up with after reading this. again, it's not illegal to give them a deadname, but i promise you what y'all are coming up with is far more enjoyable to your trans readers

just like gay people don't want to read stories about being gay, but rather stories that happen to have gay people in them, there's a severe lack in trans stories that don't revolve around being trans. it's just nice, to escape and not be reminded of how the world is.

some ideas i've seen: -in flashbacks/past setting they go by a nickname instead of deadname -go by initials instead -gag where everytime their deadname is about to be said they're interrupted -"my deadname is undisclosed" "oh, that's...unique" "...what"

-on documents or in any written format their name is crossed out or erased, could be especially interesting for crime or fantasy stories -every time they talk about pre-coming out they use a different name, and so does their friends and family, it's a running inside joke.

Townspeople: They say the great wizard who wrote this book has a name so powerful it couldn't be seen by a mortal eye- Great wizard, having none of this: WHAT?! THAT'S what you guys gossip about? I Awaken People From The Dead and you're theorizing about why i erased my deadname?

it never even occurred to me to plan my characters’ dead names??? why would u that

i have seen it going around that a lot of trans people keep stumbling across fics or stories with trans characters being deadnamed. i think it’s like lgb media used to (and still sort of is) always about being gay and homophobia was always part of any story for no reason. +
