Deadnaming

A word describing when somebody calls someone, mostly a transgender, the wrong name, and they proceed to get overly offended.

“Hey James, how’s it going my man?”

“DUDE!! YOU DEADNAMED ME!! MY NAME ISN’T JAMES ANYMORE YOU BIGOT!!! I’M A WOMAN NOW!!”

“Oh sorry for deadnaming you-“

“FUCKING TRANSPHOBE!!! DONT EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN!!”
