*pokerface*?

For example:

"Larissa's former name was Daniel. Alright, lemme just type that in..."

*couple seconds later*

"... Hmm... isn't Daniel a dude name?"

*couple seconds later*

"... Hmm... I guess Larisaa had a sex change or something."

- End of thought process.

I was not even aware of the existence of the so-called "deadname", nor that it was somehow disrespectful?

Ditto. The word made it on to Wiktionary and Urban Dictionary about 3 years ago, although Wiktionary attests it to 2012.

To be honest I thought it was a maiden name.

the writer was an idiot.
