This is something that has bugged me since the early days of troonacy. As a woman on the internet since the 90s, I've been misgendered pretty much on a daily basis most of my life. The worst that's come of it has been mild annoyance depending on the topic at hand. I've never had a mental breakdown or felt the need to "IT'S MA'AM" someone for calling me "dude" or "this guy" or whatever. My name is one of those that has male and female variations, and for most of high school other female friends would call me by the male version as a nickname. No existential breakdowns.I wonder if it occurs to any of them that Joanne can be called by a male name in interviews and not immediately have a meltdown , and what that might mean about gender identity. Shouldn't she start frothing at the mouth and try to kill herself from the misgendering attack? If deadnaming is so awful for troons because it attacks their true gender, then why can cis people have different sexed alter egos without having a mental breakdown?
