It’s important to note that one person, or even a small group of people, can’t just come up with a new standard and expect everyone to follow it. I could just as easily write something that says you should always refer to people by their deadname. That doesn’t make it so.

You should be concerned about having a bhoozhie “dead site.”

Lifehacker doesn’t publish my comment because I do not validate the concept. Seriously Fuck YOUUUUuuuuu, Unsubscribe from this shit fucking garbage site talk about “ethics” you’re so fucking irrelevant

Just stop.

They day he announced it, how was anyone supposed to know who they’re even talking about unless you say “the actor formally known as Ellen Page”?

Fuck off with this foolish bullshit. 

this is the most retarded shit ever. Trans people need help they have a mental condition and you people keep leading them on with this bullshit. Just like Bruce Jenner, he is not a woman I will never acknowledge this. He is now just a man with no dick. stop making these god awful articles trying to normalize a fucking…

I don’t care what people call me. I am who I decide to be. Other peoples opinions are irrelevant. I am an individual who does not require the validation of others. I also observe that philosophy regarding the opinions of others and therefor do not expect others accept me on my terms. Remove or limit social…

you’re not going to extort me. I have other things to worry about like heat in the winter.

On the one hand, a man has the right to change his name to whatever he wants to change it to. And if a man wants to be called Muhammad Ali, God dammit, this is a free country, you should respect his wishes, and call the man Muhammad Ali!

It’s asinine to insist that there cannot be a simple clarification a la “Ali had previously been known as Cassius Clay.”

Name is identity, that’s why intentionally calling someone with a wrong name can be used as an insult.

maybe I take for granted that everyone refers to me by the “correct” gender, but I don’t remember demanding anyone refer to me by specific pronouns.

Uh-huh.... There's probably more important things in the world to worry about, if you want to be honest.

Elliot’s next movie should be called Names Of The Living Dead.

Liberals... blech.

Now that she has discovered she has always been a straight white male, is she going to apologize for oppressing everyone else and retreat to the shadows giving up her roles to people having underrepresented combinations of epithets?

Weaponized self care.

Who is Elliot Page? Why is everyone talking about them?
