The deadnaming issue is a huge one for sure. I recently got deadnamed in the invite email for a Diversity and Inclusion training 😬
One thing I continue to be surprised about in technology is what things you can change and what you can't. I can't change the email address I have with Google, but I can change my name. In our company's HR/Payroll software I could change on a whim my race/ethnicity, but I was locked out of changing my gender.
It just reminds me of this wonderful article by Penelope Phippen: dev.to/penelope_zone/changing-your...
Such a fantastic article. We were lucky to get to have Penelope on the episode of DevDiscuss linked above.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your story, Madison. This issue is so important and one I wasn't as familiar with before starting to work at DEV, which exposed me to the prevalence of deadnaming in tech and other identity-related flaws/discrimination.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
